Re: [xmca] Re: Master's program based on CHAT



I do not know the answer to this question: On the one hand, we wish broad
participation. We need something like
a set of 15 lectures. I believe that we have 15 such lecture nominees. We
could start a google group with those we already know who have said they
would contribute. And add to that group as conditions permit, form
subcommitees there.

But in so doing, we might be running up against excellent local plans
between institutions, or under ISCAR aegis, etc.
and we would not want to block any good things.

Conundrum?
