Discussion of all things related to Public Domain

[tom poe <tompoe AT amihost.com>]

Hi, Alan:  Reminds me, you discussed this very point about ease of use a
while back.  I've got your ideas laid out in the white paper we started:
http://www.ibiblio.org/studioforrecording/php/whitePaperPortal.php

It's been ages since I've done anything with it.  Still waiting for SVG
to get recognized by browsers, I guess.  Thanks for bringing me back to
it.  Let's see if we can get the paper polished up for grant app
purposes, and for general information for the world community.  If any
of you have time, please go through it, and send us all your thoughts.
Tom
