[Chameleon] Any interest in a Chameleon showcase?

Fri May 7 13:11:24 EDT 2004

Would anyone be interested in helping me put together a gallery of Chameleon
sites?

If so, submit your URL via off-list email to matt.frost at mma1.com and I'll
compile a list of links on my personal site. Once I've entered a critical
mass of them, I'll post the address back to the listserv so we can see one
another's work and swap ideas.

Thanks!
