Thanks to JM for his comments on pacing... I set the topic timelines quite arbitrarily just to get the ball rolling. Perhaps we should keep with topic one starting with Alison's summary and carry on...I'll wait for a few days to see what's happening. My sense is there will be more discussions as we move ahead in this area. From a recent conference I attended called Getting Online in Ottawa and from the reports I have been getting from INET96 there seems to be a general shift from a need to explore the How to's to a need to probe and experiment the What For's and all the accompanying possibilities.
