I don't remember a shootdown of the forums idea =
at qep'a'. Oddly I think of forums a little =
nostalgically, as I used to use them a lot, but =
haven't in years. Are web forums really still what kids these days are doin=
g?
It appears from this discussion that it shouldn't =

majordomo mailing list to another format, but =
rather to what, and who will do it? My =
programming and webdesign skills are purely 20th =
century, and I don't have an iPod/iPad developer =
kit, but I'm sure someone does.
I can lend to the project my Klingon language =
skills, years of experience with pitching =
instruction to different levels and learning =
styles, and I'd be happy to write and voice =
stories and dialogues to support a multimedia =
learning environment. I could probably pull =
together some costumed folk with passable accents for video, even.
Who has programming skills, platform tools, =
project management experience, video editing =
talents, or a vision of what we should put together?
