Hi Jim Beach
I work with Tom and Bob on this extraction and XML grant, and wonder,
whether it might be possible to sit in for a few hours to your SEEK
meeting in Santa Barbara to get a feel of what you plan to do?
Currently, I am on a fellowship at the JPL her in Pasadena to work on
distributin models, and thus not too far from Santa Barbara.
With best regards
Donat
