From my reading, it looks like the Cotsen is not sure exactly what they 
might prefer and is open to suggestions. Because SlugGo runs on a 
cluster and the cluster is too bulky to travel I have considered 
hosting an event, but I have decided against it because it seemed like 
way too much trouble and expense for me ... time and trouble better put 
into improving SlugGo.

But perhaps with 3 groups splitting the effort ( Cotsen, IGF, and HSRF 
) we can make a nice event of it without too much expense or 
administrative leg work for any one of us. I do not have the time to 
organize something like this but I would like for it to happen.

If there is interest I'd suggest that Bob and Ray and I take the 
discussion off-line until we have some clearer ideas about what we 
would like to do.
