[OSList] What could dialogue look like between people of Russia and people of the West?

[Michael Herman]

I know that this scale of dialogue is what Qiqo was originally built for,
Lucas.  So I'm glad to see you asking this question.  I wonder if the folks
at helena.org would appreciate it.  They did a small-sample program
"American in One Room," a weekend gathering, folks flown in from all 50
states, as I recall, in conjunction with the NYTimes and some folks at U of
Chicago.
