Re: [xmca] Re: Master's program based on CHAT
Hi Mike
I am away for two weeks and I would like to know if we are going to discuss

I think we could discuss this idea as xmca and Iscar members in this first
step, because the institutionalisation of this project, in this phase, may
kill it ;-)
Have a nice day J
