Proposal for Contributions - Group and Individual Goals
Due: Monday, October 21, 2002

Let me know:

1. What are the goals for your group? In other words, how do you plan to improve, augment or refine the existing unit on our WOMDT site?

2. What will your individual project or contribution be? Be as specific as possible. Describe your plan to gather information.  What steps will you take? How will you locate a subject? Who will you interview and when? What will you observe and when?

3. What other contribution you would like to make to the web publication?  By this I am referring to the later stage of the project when will need text editors, compilers, html editors, workers to upload pages to the website, photographers and photo scanners, and possibly individuals to digitize and upload sound samples.
