Hi Bill et al, Google doc would also be fine if people agree. Thanks for taking the initiative to set it up. In my opinion, it would be important to continue working with the current group of people (e.g., Alan, June, Gwen, Huajun, ... if they are willing to continue to involve) who've been working on the current use case/demo to help extend future work, while new people can be recruited if there is a fit. Just my two-cent thought. I have to go, as I need to prepare for my WWW2007 workshop ... Best, -Kei William Bug wrote: > Hi Don, Kei, John, Matthias, et al., > > Kudos to us all.
