In addition to this list, I am involved in several others with respect
to philanthropy.  Since I plan to segue to full-time nonprofit work
after the first of the year, it's a way of garnering insight from afar
to better prepare me.

I'm sure you'll get some great, museum-specific answers from this
list.  However, if you would like to address these same issues in a
broader forum on the subject of development as a whole and do not know
where the other lists are, contact me privately, and I will share.

Right now, I receive mail from Charity Law, Charity Soft(ware),
Grants, Charity Talk, Arts Gift, Cyber Volunteer Program Manager, and
a few others.  There's a wealth of insight to be gleaned.
