Hi,

Chris came back from vacation, and I just reached him at home.  I wanted to
make sure that we agreed on our position with regards to the CD project.  We
agreed to the following:

1)  Neither of us has the time to do this.  If folks
    want an off-line compilation, you're going to need
    to run this project yourselves.  (Many thanks to
    Ken Wilfy for the biblical reference to Exodus 18!)

2)  We will not object to a compilation CD being
    published, as long as

       a)  The effort is done 'at cost' with volunteer
           labor.
       b)  The compilation not be made until August 1st,
           1998, to enable those who don't wish their
           postings to be included to so request.

3)  We would like folks who purchase the CD to be
    offered the opportunity to make a voluntary
    donation to the Vanagon list of $10 over the cost
    of the CD.  I stress 'voluntary'.

4)  We will make the archives available (in monthly
    file format) to the group which takes on this
    project exclusively for use in the compilation.

Note that only ONE person has so far requested that their posts not be
published, because that person is compiling a book of their own.  I still
truly believe that bus people are good people, and I think that this will be
a successful project.

Go wild, folks!
