Terry,
I agree with the need for F2F whenever possible. Judi Harris's work has
been helpful to many of us at BBN.

How will your electronic community be set up? Will you be supporting it
with F2F as you have been TETN?

Will you have a facilitator or support for the mentors?

I am interested in the structures people set up when starting these
communities.

Laurie

ps. I like your use of Dr. Seuss.
