    predetermined set of magical beliefs or alleged pseudosciences.

    In connection with paranormal claims, issues involving science
    and philosophy in general are often raised.  There is no policy of
    excluding any topic from consideration.  While the common point of
    view expressed is skepticism about claims that go against current
    scientific pictures, critical approaches to science itself are also
    encouraged.

SkillsBank

    willing to share their skills with others - not just the computist

    that we all seem to have aquired.

    Ground rules: the list is not going to be publicly available but
    requests to the list for specific skills will be passed on to the
    people that have them, and they can decide about the level of
    participation they want to have.  The only public piece that will
    be mailed around is the new skills that have been added, and the
    new requests for assistance.

    I am open to any other suggestions for how to make this work.

    Group's (OMG) Common Object Request Broker Architecture.  There are
    also extensions to SOM for distributed object oriented design, DSOM.

    The OS/2 WorkPlace Shell is the most famous application of SOM. As
    such, we will be discusing its technical underpinnings, as well as
    discussing WPS programming techniques.

    For the most part, if it is related to SOM, we are interested in
    discussing it.
