LOGO-L> Re: Students Logo Conference in SPb

[George Mills <mills@softronix.com>]

Wow, I hope you don't mind my CC-ing my reply to logo-l
mailing list.

Yes, I'd love to see some of their work and I'm sure
the logo-l users would also.

I don't know how much time I can provide, nor do I understand
exactly what level they are at. Perhaps when I see a little
of what they have done I can answer better. Feedback is usually
not too time consuming. But structuring some high level
projects may be. We'll have to play it by ear.

It's stories like these that inspire me to make MSWLogo even
better. You made my day :-)
