Hey, Indigo - During my perusal of the Museum-L archives I read a
posting from you suggesting just this thing, but when I checked MuseDocs
I didn't find anything. I hope people will follow your suggestion this
time because it would be a big help for those trying to write policy.
Thanks,
Anne

Suggestion.  The list won't accept attachments but
MuseDocs will, and perhaps others could also benefit
by having the info.  If you would like to post it to
MuseDocs, go to:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MuseDocs

Once you sign in, click on the Files link on the left
side, and you can update your document there.  Then
just sent that list--and this--a note indicating the
document(s) is (are) available.
