Hi,

	I'm looking to see if there is interest in a news group which is concerned
with HyperText/Media projects. This group would not be concerned with hardware
or software problems but with human design  and use considerations. I don't see
this group as directly associated with any particular hardware or software
implementation. I do see the group as similar to the IBM Issac bboard which has
abstracts and information on technology and education with IBM equipment.

Presently the comp.sys.hypercard group seems to discuss mainly program problems
and the alt.hypertext doesn't discuss much of anything.

I'd also suggest that this group be moderated. 

I would like to see postings of abstracts about projects , discussion , and a
monthly email address update of designers involved in the projects. The
addresses should also have some associated index of interests.

Any suggestions or comments?

Please post all comments and mail copies to me at thom@dewey.soe.berkeley.edu

Thanks.
