Hi folks, 

   You're getting this note because you are currently on the "winnt@mit" mailing
list.  This is the list for the ad-hoc task force devoted to helping roll out
support for Windows NT (on the Desktop) at MIT.  (If you don't want to be on this
or you'd like to make sure that someone else is, please send mail to smyser@mit
and I'll take care of it.)

   The purpose of this note is to express the following:

   in an effort to prepare the stage for the detailed action items that are
part of the Support Rollout project for Windows on the Desktop, brenda and I 
would like to start sending more mail to the list, rather than just between
ourselves.  We'll try to keep the noise level down, and post only meaningful
notes that provide either background information for the project notebook, 
or more importantly, that ask for specific feedback from winnt@mit task force
members.
   
   The current membership of  the list is:

	brendakg
	crerie
	smyser
	goguen
	pbh
	cavan
	sbjones
	awillis
	tytso
	seant
	jsaylor
	sampson
	tregan
	winnt-mtg@menelaus.local
	elder
	sharari
	nschmidt

   One of the members of the winnt list is the discuss meeting,
winnt-mtg@menelaus.  That is a public archive meeting, visible in MacDiscuss or
from the usual web server location on  //www:8008/menelaus/winnt.
Knowing that, you can delete mail with impunity knowing you can read it again if
you need to.

   A near-term deliverable from myself and brenda is a web rendition of our
project notebook.  Information will be posted in a cleaner fashion there.
That page does not now exist but will soon (this week).  It's location
is or will be

	http://web/winnt/project/

   We envision the main WinNT at MIT page to begin at //web/winnt, in a 
corollary to //web/win95/.

   If over the course of the coming weeks you think of ways we could be
communicating better, either among ourselves or to the community, please 
let rob or brenda know.
