The Boston Computer Society NeXT User's Group proposes to create a
nationwide (or wider?) directory of personal, technical contacts for the
NeXT computer.  The idea is that if you have a question a person local to
you could answer, the directory would help you find assistance quickly.

Quite often these kinds of lists, once produced, have been free, if
electronic, or at very low cost, if printed.  For a long time, members of
the BCS have donated some of their time to answering questions.

Before we begin this project, what do you feel?  Would such a directory be
useful to you?  What kind of information should be included?  How can we
protect volunteers from getting too many requests?  Do you have concerns
about privacy, propriety, ethics, cost, completeness or timeliness?

Opinions RSVP to geoff@camex.com or to comp.sys.next.
