Regarding guests of [x], and since Jim mentioned space limitations: If there is ever a need for a larger hard space (or we want to try it out from time to time), hosting them at Cap. U. can often be an option. Aurelea Mahood and myself are working to make Cap. a hub for explorations of e-lit in this region, esp. given that it seems to have little artistic visibility or scholarly presence at the other universities or colleges in the area. This means we are interested in hosting all kinds of related talks in computer art, sound installations, digital writing and projections, etc.<br>

Just a thought. B.<br>

> Google Groups is a widely used platform for list-based discussion. It's been around for a while and seems reliable. But, additionally, G+ offers several other features. The multi-person (more than 2 people) video chat looks like it could be useful for x hookups with people in remote locations. Perhaps good to get into that. It offers a calendar also. And then there's Google Drive. Is that part of G+? Probably soon to be if not now. G+ is interesting. It's on the edge of such stuff: online communication systems. Kind of interesting to see what's going on with that.<br>
