Hi everybody who was interested in this, I've created a project page here: http://www.openplans.org/projects/open-courseware-6001 You'll need to create an account on that site. You should then have access to the mailing list, http://www.openplans.org/projects/open-courseware-6001/lists/ocw-6.001/ Let's get this rolling! -PW On Thu, Jun 07, 2007 at 04:43:18PM -0400, Paul Winkler wrote: > Hi folks, > > The following has nothing to do with audio, or even with Linux per se, > but I think of you as the right sort of people to be interested in > something like this :-) Feel free to write me off-list and we can take > the discussion elsewhere. > > I've been programming professionally for about 8 years.
