I agree with Jon. IMHO isnt there a danger that a Workshop would
attract the same usual faces?
Also, I'm a bit unclear as to the audience for the dissemination.
The LIS literature has featured many articles about various projects.
At EEVL we are now concentrating on reaching as many lecturers,
students, and practising engineers as possible by writing in other
publications and holding seminars. Is this part of the process of
dissemination?
