I think so as well.

I think this is a great idea!

I recommend that while we are set up to feature Lynx and provide
a working area for lynx develop to test out new features, that the sharing
part push hard the use of content over glitz.  If those of you in the
audience could provide tips and techniques that also make the pages _look_
snazzy, so much the better!

Some one at one point had a CGI that would somehow use lynx to render a page
- that would be even neater!

Depends on who was sponsering the CGI and how much power they wanted to
provide.

Great idea!
