Re: [AGA SC] Another perspective on the AGA "Forum" proposal

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

DFWAPC had 5 really conversant people on the mail list.
That wasn't enough to support a forum. That's how I see
that one. I think there is a realization there now, at
least among some, that it's not really gonna happen in an
important way in Dallas -- it needs to have a bigger reach.

Ghazanfar would be taking right off the bat from the bobber
-- and just when he was cozying up ;-) But he has the
technical smarts to do it. But yeah, he's too occupied for
the next 6 months or so.

More expressions of interest; more expresions of
volunteering. We'd need that to move on to a project
development stage.

PS: The need for our new moderator -- I hope I get to share
credit for that ;-)
