Would you and your guys fancy a quick field trip over here to the UK? If not I'm sure there has to be someone nearer to you in the US of A..... Seriously - when the article is done, can you please let us all know where we can hear it or at least get a transcript? ID: 17826 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Perhaps one of the highly competitive groups that are involved in one of the recent BBQs (team taunting) would explain the fun we can have in team competitions.

Also, it would take a fair level of experience to feel comfortable addressing the questions you will bring up in an interview. ...or I suppose they've contacted you directly with your contact info. Would you consider doing a phone interview? And, just curious, would this be for your local station? Or for NPR nationally?

We could make it sticky for a while, in the hope more people will see it.

Actually it has been read by almost 180. Page views doesn't equal unique persons. Everytime we click a thread, re-read what was said, or we post in it and reload etc, the "page views" counter gets incremented. In this particular thread, I must have contributed at least 10 "views" from the current 180+ page views myself.

Last modified: 14 Jun 2006, 0:59:21 UTC Hi Everyone-- Many thanks for your replies, and for posting my message on other message boards. I have set up interviews with the project directors for next week, but am still looking for maybe one more person in the Seattle metro area. The story is for our local NPR affiliate, KUOW-FM. I don't think it will air nationally. I am not checking the message board every day, so if you would like to contact me, it's best to send me an email at debwang@kuow.org or call 206-221-7934. Thanks again, and look forward to hearing from you! Deborah Wang Hi Deborah, I live in Seattle and I do look at the message boards and I do participate in the Rosetta project as well as many others. Hi all you enthusiastic crunchers..... ID: 18602 · Rating: 1 · rate: / Reply Quote

I only wish you'd given folks info. on how to get started. I do see on the website though there is a link to Rosetta. So, I guess if they are interested, they might check there.
