As chairman of the group, I pointed out that apart from some activity resulting from the 1990 Working Group, notably on the part of Jack Brown of BCIT, there was very little carry over from one year to the next. So, I volunteered to start and administer a Forth Education List on Internet. I have now decided to publish an electronic newsletter--more or less regularly--and this is it! This issue is being sent to some of the people who attended the 1991 FEWG, namely, those who gave me their electronic addresses. You can subscribe to the list by sending an e-mail request to forth-edu-l-request@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca Contributions to the newsletter can be sent (for editing) to ns@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca Submissions to the list can be sent to forth-edu-l@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca Topics for both types of submissions that have been suggested at the WG include * Forth textbooks * Educational Forth boards * Forth teaching resources * Teaching the ANSI Standard Version of Forth * How to increase programming productivity through education * Boot Prom educational materials * anything else impinging on education and Forth Nicholas Solntseff Department of Computer Science and Systems McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario Canada L8S 4K1 1-416-525-9140 xtn 3443 ** --- If you have any questions about ForthNet/comp.lang.forth or any information to add/delete or correct in this message or any suggestions on formatting or presentation, please contact Doug Philips at one of the following addresses: Internet: dwp@willett.pgh.pa.us Usenet: ...!uunet!willett.pgh.pa.us!dwp GEnie: D.PHILIPS3
