The story on the web based mail is that Michael Smith and I are
still working on the interface when we have the time so it is still 'in
the works' for the moment so no official announcement was made. It was not
a case of the left hand not talking to the right in this instance although
that is a serious problem with CCN. My observation on that issue though is
that the situation is starting to turn around.
Right now, the Beacon news page is the first place to look for new
developments in lieu of anything else though I would be happy to work with
anyone wanting to develop a different system.

This was my observation at the beginning of this latest slew of
email. At least there is now a news page more recent than 1997.

As a member of the new comm committee, I can assure that the
committee is not out of the loop WRT to new developments. It is however
overdue for another meeting.
