Fabio, >I'll admit, I am extremely envious, and sorry I am the only european in the >group. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to take part to any meeting in the >States unless I find some funding on the way, which, at the state, seems at >best unlikely (Microsoft?). At present, the majority of active participants on this list are located in the United States, with slightly more on the West Coast than on the East Coast. This has been the driving factor in keeping the meetings in the US. I'm game for holding a meeting in Europe, especially since I've never been to Italy, but I suspect that many of the people who have been coming to these meetings would be unable to make it. My fear is we would end up losing several months, or end up with a result which did not reflect a consensus view, if we were to hold a meeting in Europe at which there was poor attendance. On the other hand, I do realize that the web was invented in Europe, and there are many people there who are knowledgable about the WWW, and versioning issues. It certainly would be nice if their knowledge could be easily applied to this effort. - Jim
