The main function of this
newsletter will be to discuss and inform
on the information that is available, on the internet rather than adding
much new information. The main reason is that any submissions
I recieve
from people, or things I come up with are put on HVD. It would
make my
job a lot easier, if those of you running a CW page, could inform me
of
any updates and changes made. Also if anyone wants to publish
any news
regarding CW, this could hopefully become a place to do it. Any
rules
informationm, questions or ideas will be published in this list, so
please send them in.
This first issue, will be
a brief description of what is out
there, subsequent newsletters will be much shorter, and deal with updates
and new pages. All sites are given a ranking (from 5 stars) in
terms of
usefullness and interest to those not involved in the specific chapter.
All stars are based on information currently available.
