The FAQ, from January 16, does not contain any mention whatsoever of
Chris Crawford or Siboot.

I would like a little more information about this.  Was Chris' work
published by some company, or was it a research project?  I would like to
find out about the project; could somebody say a little more about it or
point me to where I can find out?

Thanks in advance,
