[Seattle-editorial] FEATURE PROPOSAL: N30

[Susan]

hi folks,

thanks to both Lance and Jonathan for putting together N30 features. my 
vote is to use Jonathan's feature as the basis, and add in a couple of 
links from Lance's, as appropriate.

Lance -- i'm wondering if you could post your whole feature, as is, to the 
newswire, and then pick a couple of key links or ideas that you want to 
have added in to jonathan's?

Jonathan -- i love the historical link archive!  and making the schedule 
plain to see (at least in summary form) out on the homepage.

-- Susan
