Dear Beth, dear all,

Just to clarify the work-flow: I would prefer that everyone send their
texts directly to Beth (as Stuart has done) and, when these have been
posted to the Web page, to announce them to the dc-usage list.  (Or
perhaps could Beth perhaps routinely make the announcement whenever she
has posted such a document?)

Otherwise, the burden falls on me to manage the documents, and I would
still need to go through Beth to put them onto the Web page.

Beth, what would be most efficient from your point of view?

Tom
