Just wanted to let folks know that I'm still thinking about this. However I'm going to be mostly away from my computer for the next two weeks so you probably won't hear from me on this, or any other, topic until mid May. Once I get back, I'll see what I can do to put together this Plant a Flower Day. In the meantime, the Potting Soil series on the ALU Wiki looks like good stuff and I'd encourage anyone who's interested to add new entries or refactor what's there. -Peter -- Peter Seibel * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gigamonkeys Consulting * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/ Practical Common Lisp * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
