In our efforts to see how to add value to the community, I want to
try holding a public "discussion". Our initial idea is to have an
AIM chat. See

http://www.netobjectivesbooks.com/N_O_BookFeedback_Wiki/owbase/ow.asp
?IdeasForCommunityNetworking for more information on this.

Taking an excerpt from that page:

AIM http://www.aim.com is an easy way to have a recorded chat. I
wouldn't mind trying this out for 1 hour chats once a week and see
what develops. ScottBain will be writing up the process that we
follow using AIM. Essentially, we'd have a chat, record it, and send
it to those who participate. Only registered users could attend.

If you are interested in participating in this, please do the
following:

* install AIM on your computer (see http://www.aim.com )
* send an e-mail to AlanShalloway (click on name for e-mail address)
sending him your AIM name
* enter any ideas about what you'd like to talk to here:
PublicDiscussionTopics

-----------------
Please let me know (as the page describes) whether you are
interested. Please do this off-board as I don't want this
discussion group to get bogged down with people saying "I'm
interested."
