Here's an update about the University/Educators Java web site which I 
sent you a note about last week.  To refresh your memory,  I am  building 
 a Non-Profit Java University/College  web-site with a corporate 
sponsorship/endorsement alliance for its financial support.  This site 
would serve as the central Java reference for domestic and foreign 
university/college faculty, staff and students utilizing Java.   

Four of the six major Pure Java Alliance Partners have been contacted.  
Apple, Netscape & IBM are very interested.  I just found and contacted 
Novell's Java marketing person.  I am very close to finding the "right" 
person at Sun/JavaSoft and Oracle.  Also, JavaWorld said that they might  
be interested in providing marketing/editorial support for this site & 
maybe set-up a Java Faculty Column to publish (in print) Java papers 
posted at this site.  I have also contacted Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & 
Byers - creators and managers of the Java Venture Capital Fund - about 
sponsoring/endorsing the site.

There are already a number of faculty, staff & students who have 
expressed an interest in assisting me with designing and building this 
site.  I am wondering if you or your students would also be interested?  
Designers & Builders would receive full credit and recognition on the 
site (I am also trying to work-out some design/building prize money).

Thank you, 

Jim Wallace
