2002-08-01 Thread Christian Renz

Sounds like a great idea, assuming we can get someone to coordinate/write it all. We can use/promote the existing sword-info mailing list for this purpose. --Chris (BTW, sorry that our Feature of the Month is almost 2 months old. I'm very busy with school right now, but I have a new feature
