    Jon and Eric,

    As I mentioned to you at the post-colloquium reception last night, the following
    link is about the XML Repository. Since other links for more detailed info
    require a password, perhaps we can contact Cliff Joslyn (505) 667-9096
    (joslyn@lanl.gov) for requesting passwords to members of the colloquium. Also,
    we could discuss the possibilities for joining in on the CRADA including funding
    from Xerox, etc. for "bootstrapping" our open source code resources to augment
    the development?
