So far there are seven of us who have expressed an interest. Thanks! That is probably close to the max for a successful collaboration. However, there is also concern that the topic as I outlined it is too broad, and so it may be necessary to more narrowly define the topic. So, one way we could go would be to have two sub-groups with different remits, and that would mean that we still need more participants. Meanwhile I'll give this a couple of days before I close the invitation; once we have a final group we can discuss how to proceed.
Those of you who have expressed or will be going to express an interest, expect an off-list email from me. stan On Jun 1, 2011, at 6:52 AM, Steven Desjardins wrote: > Actually Stan, I've been looking around since you mentioned this. > Rockbridge county is farm country after all.
