Summary of "statewide web projects" Email to Me (fwd)

[kay mary]

I'm puzzled by the inclusion of the Cal State system's UIAS project in 
the attached list and would love clarification from the knowledgeable.  
It is my understanding that the UIAS effort is being designed for the CSU 
consortium, not for the whole state at this point.  So does anyone have 
information that the effort has been broadened to a multitype one?  I'd 
love to hear the latest!

I've been mighty impressed with the statewide planning efforts to bring 
databases to the public that have been discussed this far.
