Sounds great, are you going to promote this topic amound your co-horts?

Yes, that will be a good idea. Is there a simple URL i can mail to people who can then get here easily?

Well, the main one is http://www.spring.com But you can also give them urls to specific topics. Go to the main page and pick 'browse' then go to the topic or conference and copy the url. This way they can get directly to the topic and have the option of signing up without going through the main page. For example, I click on poetry and it gets me to the list of topics at this url: http://www.spring.com/yapp-bin/public/browse/poetry/all Then I choose one of those topics, "How's your poetry writing day going" and it takes me to http://www.spring.com/yapp-bin/public/read/poetry/5 At the top of the page are buttons to sign up. log in, or move to the next or previous topic.
