I forward this to the group as food for thought. As some on this list will
know, the following is a response to the call for papers for the next
ACH/ALLC conference, which included a specific invitation to related
organizations, to propose panels. I think this suggests that the kind of
thing we're talking about on *this* list might have a market, so to speak.
Also, NB, I have updated my table with the latest from Ninch, at
http://www.iath.virginia.edu/~jmu2m/adhoc.grid.html -- does the chair have
an opinion on the proposal that we invite Richard Finneran into this
discussion, and that table, as a representative of the Society for Textual
Scholarship?
