THE PROJECT APPROACH DISCUSSION GROUP

If you are interested in joining a discussion group on project work please join us at PROJECTS-L. See subscription information below.

Record of Reviews

I began by reviewing the discussion roughly once a week. At that time I wanted to help the group establish some basic understanding of topics appropriate for discussion on this list. As time went on the group developed a character of its own and now there are over 400 members. This sounds like a large number, but there are few of us who have much time to contribute to serious on-going discussion. From time to time ideas are shared, dilemmas discussed and projects described. That's the way it has become and that's fine till the group wants to develop in any other way!
