hi everyone!

i wanted to bring up the topic of sig image's future again.

during sig mpe, we talked about the possibility of sig image merging
in.  imo, most of the people at the meeting were in favor of doing
this.  i pointed out that a sig without leadership really isn't a sig
at all.  since sig mpe has become an 'umbrella' for many mpe-oriented
sigs, we would also advocate for image users.

after the meeting, someone approached me about sig image and asked if
it was a good idea to include eloquence.  i thought it was quite an
interesting suggestion.

i strongly believe that image users still need a strong voice (via a
sig) to express their concerns/needs to hp.  i think the issue
surrounding large file datasets and the upcoming sql standard are two
obvious examples.  i believe too that eloquence user will benefit from
having a unified voice.

so, what say ye?

- should sig image merge with sig mpe?
- should sig image include eloquence users and become sig
image/eloquence?
- any other suggestions?
