Thanks for your reply Vicky.

Yes, we can continue discussing it through email exchanges.

In the mean time, I feel like asking you on this list how you feel it
differs , or how similar it may be, from, for example, what Sam , Paul
Hartzog, and possibly others are doing through setting up

http://forwardfound.org/

I feel there is the possibility for a synthesis of all kinds of projects and
subjects that have been discussed on this list,
and personally I feel more and more that I want to "live" with the people
that want to create such synthesis.
