[sf-lug] Another school project possible

[jim]

can you describe or point us to more specifics: 
* what tasks need to be done? 
* what goals are there? 
* how many persons are needed? 
* is there pay? 
* what about hours: flexible or required times? 
* are there volunteer possibilities? 
* is there a knowledgeable mentor or supervisor 
already in place? 
* replicating ACCRC without james burgett seems 
a tall order, what about working with ACCRC? 
* where is/are the location(s)?
