First Wave of Project Inquiries (fwd)

[Christian Wittern]

Lou,

As you know, we discussed this on tei-chars.  I suggested to post to
TEI-L, but others felt it would be more successful to target specific
projects directly.  Nobody raised any concerns that this could be
considered spam.  (Which feeling I don't share -- but I do think that
having the contact adresses listed on the web site certainly causes
these people to receive a *lot* of spam)

All the best,
Christian
