Matters that matter

[J. Monroe]

Plant-eders,

I am REALLY impressed with the time people are taking to contribute 
to this evolving thread.  Keep them coming!  As for what to do with 
it all, I hope someone will follow Lee Hadden's suggestion, seconded 
by Bill Purves, and volunteer to construct an archive on the web.  It 
wouldn't need to be very fancy.  Perhaps the first iteration could 
simply be a listing of ideas on a single page.  If the list gets too 
long then break them up into related topics and link them together. 
I think it would be a good idea to keep a name and e-mail address 
with each entry so one could go to the source with questions.  Put a 
request for more ideas on the page so others not on Plant-ed could 
add to it.  Now that I think of it, I'll send instructions on 
subscribing to Plant-ed to add to the page.  Once it is up, send the 
URL to the webmasters at BSA, ASPP (others?), and us, of course, and 
see what happens!

If someone has the time and energy and wants to do this, let us all 
know so we don't duplicate effort.

Thanks!!

Jon
