Right. The reason why I suggested .trains.presentation.hardware is that .trains
can get pretty busy, and it would be nice to slightly compartmentalize while
fleshing things out. Once all data had been gathered/discussed, I definitely see
it being built as a doc on the ILTCO site.
The reason for .trains.presentation should be pretty clear - there's TONS of
presentation tips that would be nice to drop into a subgroup, even if people just
CCed the group from time to time.
And .hardware could also discuss more controversial presentation bits - ropes,
sneezeguards, or <shudder> nothing to hold back the mobs.
