howdy folks,

a few (very few) things, IN CAPS:

In theory yes. A few technical Q's as the pfaf dataset is officially 
released under 1.0 license, not insurmontable.
WHO IS IN CHARGE OF LICENSE ISSUES (WHO SET IT UP LAST TIME)?  CAN 
SOMEONE TAKE CARE OF THIS?

Yep wheres the data coming from? Hopefully Heidi will be able to 
contribute some.
HEIDE, PAULA, AND ANYONE ELSE!  DATA WILL COME FROM USERS.

I'd say Steve is probably right. The data we have got is good for some 
purposes, but not really well targeted towards the needs of commercial 
growers. I don't really know what their requirements are, but it is a 
good question to ask.
I'LL BE LOOKING INTO THIS NOW.  STEVE AND LAWRENCE AGREE THAT IF WE WERE 
TO CATER TO MARKET FARMERS, OUR ENTIRE VISION WOULD HAVE TO BE RE-WORKED.  
HMMM.  I'LL CHECK THE INFORMATIONAL RESOURCES STEVE SUGGESTED AS BEING 
ESPECIALLY USEFUL TO MARKET FARMERS, TALK TO LOCAL EXTENSION AGENTS, AND 
SEE WHERE OUR INTENTIONS AND THEIR NEEDS INTERSECT.  I KNOW PAULA IS 
COLLECTING GUILD-RELATED DATA *WITH* FARMERS, SO IT'S POSSIBLE.  AND IF 
NOT (AT LEAST, NOT AT THIS POINT), THAT'S FINE TOO.  

I'LL ALSO INTRODUCE THIS TOPIC TO PIW WHEN I RETURN FROM MY TRIP.

WHICH LEADS ME TO MY LAST TOPIC: GOODBYE.  OR RATHER, HASTA LUEGO.  
COUSIN GETTING MARRIED IN MEXICO, AND I'LL BE BACK ON TUESDAY.

'TIL THEN
*Stephanie
