Just wanted to add that, if you have a moment, I'd like to talk to you via phone, as your experience and knowledge in the mystery cult of the editorial board would be very useful to us, and I'd also like to get your opinion on various aspects of what we're doing and planning to do. Any time would be good for me, so feel free to give me a ring at your convenience if this is acceptable to you.

Hi Gina,
My name's Clark Robinson; I am working with Barrett Brown on Project PM.
I am a retired lawyer helping him with administrative tasks. I am
copying Scott Mintz, who is also working closely with Barrett.
Here is a link to our group blog, http://workshoppm.blogspot.com/
, which is a forum for those of us interested in developing Project PM.
I will also send you separately an invitation to author status on the
blog. You will need to open a Google mail account to accomplish the
latter. It's free.
I recommend you get author status on the workshop blog, even if you
don't think you will use it immediately.
If you click way back in
the "older posts," you will find a list of links to various articles
Barrett has written which provide interesting background for the
project. A couple of these links also give a foretaste of his book
coming out later this year (the ones with the names of NYT pundits in
the link). In addition to Michael Hastings, some other writers who have expressed interest in being a part of Project PM are Allison Kilkenny, Unreported; Mark Adomanis who is gaining stature as an expert
on Russia; and Charles Johnson, who reports on the activities
of the extreme right. A recent recruit is Mano Singham, a physicist, who is
Director of the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and
Education at Case Western Reserve University; his blog is at http://blog.case.edu/singham/ .
You will also see on the Workshop that we are talking about applying the
underlying concepts of Project PM to charitable work and to journalism
about science, and some of the posts on the workshop blog relate to
those sub-projects.
We have been paying attention to how we work as a group, and e-mail
appears to be the interaction tool of choice for many of us, so don't
hesitate to send us mail.
