Re: [xmca] Re: [Fwd: AERA Professional Development Course]

HI all,
In my previous e-mail (that missed these) I wrote: " This is not a bad
idea. It only depends on the time (space, we can probably find), that it
would take from people being at the conference. Four hours away from the
conference venues is a long time for everyone, and since AERA is not
organizing it we do not know people's schedules and conflicts. Another
thing to consider is advertising and getting people to enroll. We would
also need to decide if we would charge for it or not, how much, and how
to handle the money if any -- since all our accounting goes through AERA
at the moment. etc. -- The whole enrollment process would need to be
worked out in detail.
But I am open to the idea and wonder what do others think"

I knew that the space would not be the problem.
What do you think about other issues: time, scheduling conflicts,
advertising and enrollment, charges (obviously we would have to pay
something for the space and probably refreshments)?
