Doug: Susan Bell and I have just completed boiling down what we received into a number of categories that can be presented in statistical form. Cathy Schryer will be presenting that for us at the CATTW sessions this weekend. With that, we have four pages of excerpts from the questions about what helped most and what caused grief in setting up writing centres. Cathy may have time to read a few of those. At the moment, this stuff is in various files in various computer programs, but I'll try to unscramble much of it to post on the CASLL net as well as the new CATTW net The Canadian session at Milwaukee told us that the Canadian situation is evolving rapidly, however, so we're planning to update our database for the next year. You'll be hearing more from us. Henry
