It sounds to me like you already have enough free stuff to make this happen. All I think it needs is for someone to get in a car, gather all of the afore mentioned free stuff, put it in the appropriate place (which I understand has also bee offered) and get this thing on the air. Even without the last step this would still be a major step forward. If you could come to the list and say ``I have a router all plugged in to the right place, here are the ip address and passwd, can someone configure it?'' then I'm sure it would be up and running within minutes. Only then will forming another group make any difference at all. While nothing is built it will be the same as any number of other groups out there. I think it's time that someone just took the bit in their teeth and did this thing. Once it's build you can go scrounging for more free stuff (a passtime after my own heart) Dean (founding member of the official working group on the proposal to consider the possibility for planning for the contingency for ... ) On Tue, May 02, 2000 at 10:50:21AM +1200, James Tyson wrote:
Come on, lets all get back to work, after all there's an MBone to build.
Agreed.
Was thinking, and stuff. Why don't we form an official working group? Maybe ISOCNZ will buy us some buscuits. I'm serious, the industry marketting types will take us more seriously if we present ourselves as an official working group, instead of just a group of smelly geeks.
Works good when your begging for free stuff, believe me.
