RE: TILT fork?

Wed, 03 Nov 2004 08:49:07 -0800 

Brent,

I feel this is a great idea. It will take a great amount of work to accomplish it. I would like to see how many people or organizations would like to contribute to this idea. Would it be possible to send an "All Concerned" email to the current users of the TILT system to ask for their ideas and help?

Ben
