oh dear.
I'm not honestly sure if what I suggested above adhoc is terribly good or
bad idea. Prbobably a bad idea.. but hoepfully leads to a better one
But it is useful to throw it up the air to get some reaction.

I am reaching for something here. I don't want it to be crass or disturb
anyone. Hope it can tie implicity or explicitly to EDU-SIG work.

There is so much work to do, but I cannot help wondering how one might have
some sort of expression of CP4E identity which would help us all get
projects developed, funded and published. The Web is of course free. One
mechanism which I think works very well are Webrings. I guess I am jsut
asking what is the equivalent of web rings for book publshing? Publishers do
it all the time for their own 'series'. Does it even matter?

Thinking out loud, against a constant background on Zope and Python lists
about awareness etc.
