Subject: Re: [humanmarkup] Fw: Chat Room
I think you need to check with About.com first, before you give up the irc and yahoo. But I suspect they would be pleased as punch to let us use their services for just chatting, and having a web page just for that and the transcripts of the chats. Make sure you understand that we are not trying to set up a site, just a page where we can log in to the chats, and have the transcripts available, perhaps as separate pages since it would turn into a rather large single page after a few meetings. Let's just make sure that we and About.com understand this clearly. Okay? Ciao, Rex At 1:04 PM -0500 11/12/01, Ranjeeth Kumar Thunga wrote: >Are you sure?
