a second, similar proposal

[Arun Jagota]

As with my earlier call for archivable contributions on the "connectionist
symbol processing" debate (the call generated a sufficient response
to proceed to the implementation phase) it seems to me there are valuable
postings also in the "big success stories" thread which would be nice
to collect together into an article. 

In view of this, I make a similar proposal:

	If you have a "big success story" and are interested in
	making a half- to one-page archival contribution towards
	a "distributed" article that collects "big success stories", 
	e-mail me your story in plain text. Sending me what you already 
	posted on Connectionists (if you did) is fine. A mild preference 
	to place all references in bibtex at the end and use latex commands 
	where appropriate.	

	A "big success story" may be in engineering applications or in 
	understanding the brain. I intend to keep the two separate.

	Contributions would be rapidly reviewed for minimal content.

	Soft deadline: 9/7/98.

	The implementation phase will depend on quality and quantity
	of contributions. Should this phase be entered, the resulting
	article(s) will be archived in
