Happy New Millennium, oh great Locians. I just wanted to bring up the 'collaboratory' feature of Loci once more. We haven't talked much about it (it's not even on the TODO list), but it will surely require some sort of chat mechanism. Here are a couple free chat systems to chew on: http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue69/3465.html http://www.interloper.net/~dan/software/software.html#mchat Ideas are sought about how conferencing/chat and locus exchange can work within the Loci paradigm. For example, can/should a 'chatter' be represented as a locus? Hmmmm. Cheers. Jeff -- +----------------------------------+ | J.W.
