I am planning to start an exhibition reviews web site: Museum Reviews You
Can Use, or words to that effect.  Here's what I envision, and I'd be
grateful for feedback.

Museum Reviews You Can Use:

* Reviews of museum exhibitions of all stripes
* Organized Geographically/Alphabetically by Museum
* Target audiences would be:
        Museum professionals
        Active museum goers
        People planning a trip
* Reviews by professionals and amateurs.  I would serve as editor at the
inception, maybe spreading the load if it got active.
* Limit of 500 words (is this the right length, is this limit desirable?)
* I'd prefer not to include press-release type announcements, but real
reviews
* Copyright for the reviews is retained by the writers
* All submissions by email in ASCII format
* No graphics, lo-tech site, no photos

This is still in planning stages, and the list's collective borg-like
expertise will be welcome.
