[Web4lib] Re: next generation opac mailing list

[Robertson, James]

Is a listserv the best medium?  Would a wiki be a better possibility for articulating the issues, features, designs, etc, of the "next gen catalog"?

	Eric et al,
	
	Have you considered using a mailing list tool that allows list names long
	enough to be descriptive?  At Yahoo Groups I've got searchloggers, for
	instance.
	
	Otherwise I think you're trying to carry 50 pounds of description in a 5
	pound bag.
