Mailing list name

[Susan Addington]

I vote for a separate list for users.

I'm a user, and definitely have no time to deal with how to get sound  
cards to work, etc. (I just throw out those technical e-mails.) I'm  
waiting until the  system is really easy to install to even try it in  
a lab.

I _am_, however, interested in developing curriculum that uses this  
technology, and devising ways for teachers to adopt these new ideas.  
(Without teachers, this won't happen.)
