[go] Invite to a discussion at PSB

[Judith Blake]

Hi Larry,
Although I've attended PSB in the past, it is almost ridiculously hard 
for me to get to the meeting in Jan.  ISMB in July is too far ahead for 
constructive feedback.

Do you have webX, emeeting facilities from Hawaii?  that might be an 
option for folks like me.

It could work like this.

1.  Your group provides wiki/ site with preliminary and background 
materials.
2.  Have teleconference facilities from PSB to include web conferencing 
with good voiceover.
    a.  I can set up perhaps as emeeting using JAX application since it 
allows many users.  and has good voiceover
   b.  Or, maybe CO or someone else's WebX...this is fine, but need to 
use skype or somesuch, and general that limits the number of off site 
participants.

how's this sound?
Judy
