[DDI-users] DDI-elements

[I-Lin Kuo]

Hi Rob,

For 1), you should probably talk to Joachim Wackerow of ZUMA and the 
open source
EXANDA project. I believe that you met him at IASSIST 2004 in Madison. 
Here's an
example of what he's done, with his email.

I don't know of anyone who has done anything along the lines of 2) but am very
interested. Would you please post back to this list if you find any 
information
along that line?
