It sounds like you have experience. Care to <br>
set up something for the group? I will <br>
contribute what I can, including solutions to<br>
my problems that people in the group provide.<br>
A simple statement of the problem, and the<br>
solution arrived at. <br>
<br>
i.e., a good idea made even better by getting<br>
on with it. Google can then catch wind of it<br>
eventually, and others outside the group can<br>
use the information.<br>
