Footprints in the Wind/sm # 500

[Michael Herman]

doug and all, this is exactly the sort of situation that i think the
GivingMarket that i've been working on will help address.  the details
are taking shape at http://www.globalchicago.net/givingmarket ...it is
one of the things that came out of last month's giving conference here
in chicago.  as open spacers, you'll recognize the GivingMarket as an
obvious incarnation of OST.  thanks for sharing this one, doug.  if
anyone wants to have a look at my working notes and designs at the link
above, i'd be glad for your comments and questions.  many thanks, m
