Grahm, the problem you cite about getting into the core at the right level is a serious problem, and is for any listserv based activity. As Carl said, watch for the workshop report, and I hope that last weeks re-organization of the homepage will repersent the begining of much stronger user-education efforts. I think for the first time we are on the threshold of actually being abkle to provide coherent advice to new implementors... almost. One of my hopes for DC-5 is that it will lead to a re-vitalization of a group started at DC-2 meeting and which foundered on the shoals of too-many-open-issues. One way we hope to capture higher-level discussions is through the Issues Page... people are encouraged to 'own' an issue and assume responsibility for summarizing discussion and synthesizing consensus positions.
