I apologize if this post is redundant for many readers, however, I've had
requests to repost it to this www list. The primary focus is to
engage in the process of utilizing the web infrastructure that Pervasive
is contributing. Who will drive the determination of use, content and
administration for that system? Thanks in advance. JeffS
