          Paul Baker; Glennon Harrison
          announced that Potomac Knowledgeway
          has also offered a list server,
          which would be somewhat more public

          he would arrange with her to provide
          a copy of the sign-up sheet.

     d.   Discussion about technical standards
          resulted in Bob Skinner and Glennon

               Wisan suggested the College
               might be willing to endorse
               project through a class; she
               agreed to check at Montgomery
               College, possibly enlisting
               student aid - perhaps for

               work on, not general public;
