Hi Jeffrey - There are some updates with the registry, which I plan to get to by the end of the week. We have held a couple of meetings, and there is some new funding to pursue some experiments with the registry. Iıll send out an announcement once Iıve updated the website. -- jaf On 1/30/07 8:04 AM, "Jeffrey Barnett" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Is there anything new to report about Ockham.
