WebMath: Welcome

[Alan Cooper]

June, I have a question about the list administration.
Will the proceedings be archived and posted to the web? (and if so at what
url?)
Posting might be particularly useful for a list such as this - both to save
individuals from having to file copies of interesting messages and for the
convenience of new members joining the list after discussions are in progress.
(It would be particularly nice if the archive could be threaded and searchable)
