Check name of our contact. So far, she's been given a number of
variations, eg. Yuki Horie, Yukie Horie, and now Yukihori :)
but I believe her correct name was "Yukie Hori"

i don't feel comfortable describing AWORC as "Internet-based women's
information service"
can we remove "service" and simplify it to "Internet-based women's
information network" ??

i like this "appropriate use"

would last point cover some sort of "collaboration" among web-builders
or is this one-way support to others ?

options apart from CDS/ISIS
