This info should just be preliminary and may well be incomplete--
just something I can send along when asking for room sponsorship.
But I'd like to include two additional pieces of info:
* How many ppl do we expect to attend ? (maybe three times the number of
  responses we receive on the date issue ?)
* Should the workshop run from 9-18 h ?!

> group, that such a meeting is in high demand (w/ reference to what happened
> at ISMB'98..:-), that we're saving the software world, what equipment we 
> optimally like to have and why, and these sort of things... This mail should

> abstracts / (possibly) papers (ie which are on the program committee), 
> unless we really don't wanna do that (professionalizing the meeting
> has got big pros and cons...)

> room !
