I have gone ahead and set up a JSOFTWARE group on www.lulu.com the url is: http://www.lulu.com/groups/jsoftware
The intention of this group is to collect references to J related publications available on lulu in one place. Please join (especially) if you have content to share promote. I would like to make references to other J/lulu publications but only owners can do that.
