Draft Agenda for workshop

Hi Everyone,

It was such a pleasure to see and meet you all at CCCC's on Friday, and to share a little New Orleans' cooking that evening. I'm really excited about our workshop at IWCA.

I have submitted a request to the IWCA organizers for a six-hour slot, instead of our four-hour one. I haven't heard back yet, but will let you know ASAP.

In hopes of getting these ideas out to you before too much time passes, I have drafted an agenda for our workshop based on our very stimulating discussion on Friday. I know that I've not captured it all, so please take this as a first step in the unfolding of the final agenda.

If you can make comments or add new posts on this topic, it will be great. I think that if we can get the agenda set in the next few weeks, then we'll have nice leisurely time to work on our respective assignments over the summer/early fall. I have 'teams' set on the different items, but please know they are not set. If you do or don't want to be on one, that's all flexible now.

Thanks very much, and I look forward to pulling this all together over the next six months or so!
