Re: Showcase results

Well, this is why I'm suggesting  the possibility of running something
that ISN'T duplication of effort and could be done timely!  Re-read the
paragraph of mine I have regurgitated below.

As to your question of what could be put in "five months later" that would
be of interest to readers, I can think of a number of things, and I think
James has already suggested a few for TAG for the next year.  Articles on
techniques used by particular entrants, interviews, focus on particular
plants.  There's a lot more here than just announcement of winners.  I
actually think that's the least interesting part, if truth be known.
