Awesome. Thank you for doing this. > Will you do one thing to get this moving?

Ok, the three sites we have are gitk.com (where I have some FTP space), duskglow.com (where the wiki and list are), and suug.ch (where the SVN repository is stored). You could use the wiki, but if you want something different, we'll have to talk with one of the owners of one of those sites and see what they can help us with. How do you want to format the data online? _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
