	I have put up a series of test pages with different backgrounds
including paper.gif at http://chebucto.ns.ca/~au141/test/index.htm .

	There are a several different graphics at various resolutions with
different edges, links in blue and red for each background and backgrounds
in white (FFFFFF), light grey (C0C0C0), dark grey (808080) as well as
paper.gif. Font sizes run from 2 to 5. 

	If there are any other suggestions for background graphics or
colors, please pass them on and I will add them to the current pages.

	Let's begin the involved and laborious process of reviewing these
different backgrounds on a wide variety of different equipment. The three 
key design elements are: easy reading of text, loading speed, and of 
course the look itself. 

	There should be some agreement as to time frame for this review
process (which by no account should exceed one month, e.g. 12 Feb. 1999, 
as that would simply be procrastination), proctoring of review results and
of course putting different equipment in the same place at the same time
for peer review. There should be a clear list of who should participate
and a protocol for the collection of votes. By all means, let's make this
process as complete and rigorous as possible. 

	Please cc any responses to ccn-ip.
