In fact, I am wondering if we need a list at all. As far as I can see, most of the participants in CASLL are interested in looking at different sites. I also like your idea about discussing one site at a time. If we decide to go this route, then I would only ask that people not broadcast the location and password outside of our net, only because the DE folks and the pubishers of the textbook that I am using (parts of the text appear on the site) have asked that it be a password protected site for copyright reasons. Also I will be preparing a statement about the context and intent of the course prior to putting the address up--sort of a protective measure. How does this sound? Does anyone object and still want me to create a more limited list? I don't mind doing it (easy using Outlook Express or Eudora), but simply publishing the address would be easier.
