I would like to set up a meeting at IPROF for anyone interested in
developing these ideas further. There are several things that Interex
could help put together. If you'd like to participate either at IPROF
if you are going or via email please contact me at [log in to unmask]
and we'll get moving on it. I'll be happy to share some of the ideas
that folks here have come up with that might be helpful.
