Hi Mike, Pete and all

I echo Pete's comments regarding the need to know whether you'd want to cover technical/non-technical aspects.

I would be very interested in any ALS as described, particularly if it covered web content/editorial/ownership/navigation issues that we all face with our large websites! Some sharing of good practice and/or common problems would be very welcome.

Best wishes
Becky

Hi Mike
I might be interested in this - depends what aspect of the Web 
(technical/non-technical) you want to cover.

Another extension of this idea is to form Action Learning Sets on 
web-related matters. I don't know whether you've come across ALS? Perhaps 
best described as a structured approach to problem sharing & solving. If we 
had 5 to 6 people we could meet somewhere centrally for a day?

Pete
