The Internet is precisely about interactivity and new forms of community,
and I am pleased to announce to you the availability of a new on-line "chat
area" in the Percy Project at the following web address:
http://sunsite.unc.edu/wpercy/conference.html
Once there, click on the "help" button for simple directions on using the
interface. (Note: your browser must support Java scripting, such as
Netscape 2.0 or higher).
This new forum offers the potential for "real-time" text-based discussion
in contrast to the "asynchronous" discussion we are accustomed to through
the mailing list. Currently, there are three areas to choose from in the
forum: Percy Chat, The Novels, and Non-fiction.
After visiting a given area to see what others have posted, you may wish to
leave a message yourself (including your email address) specifying a time
when you could "meet" in the chat areas to dialogue about a given topic.
Over time, the project will broaden the number of chat areas available as
well as strive to improve the service as we receive feedback about it. And
in the longrun, the chat areas have the potential to become a great
complement to Percy-L.
Please consider trying out and using this new service on a regular basis,
which we hope will bring you enjoyment as the latest addition to the
project's broad range of WP "semiotic experiments."
