Just as a quick status report, the Metadata Users Guide subgroup has been making good progress. Down in the details of the Dublin Core we've found a need for a little "interpretation" (as you may have guessed), and we may have a review draft for the larger group by the end of the month. In the meantime, I'm not sure of the utility of writing a DLib magazine article related to the User Guide. Perhaps a tiny piece describing the fact that work is in progress and what the goals are -- would that be useful? Any other ideas? -John =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John A.
