Re: [microsound] micro-mailing list info database

[lowercase <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i agree on some level...
developing the microsound.org site into more of a community site would
be a good thing, but a sondierable number of us would WANT it to be used
as a community site.  I for one would be glad to contribute some of my
time and effort to creating the site (if the powers that be woudl like).
I have done a considerable amount of web work and also have studied AI
somewhat extensively.  i apologize for the short response, but i have a
highly injured finger right now.

quick ideas:
1, event posting
2. literature
3. links to pertinent information (technologies, discourse)
4. of course an archive of this mailing list
5. people/names/works 
6. brief history of list/microsound
7. group projects (remixes etc...)
8. essays perhaps

just my 2.12312515 cents
