I suggest that within the two following posts are all the rules and
regulations needed to get a project like this started if you want to do
it as a competition.. If you agree, we need to make a few decisions:
How to vote. (I prefer vote for three without ranking, let total # of
votes determine 1,2,3) Where/How are we going to do comments? What's
the first theme, and what address do I mail my slide to for scanning?
Of course if you don't agree, keep talking..........
