Hi!

Mosaic isn't actually merging with us - they recently had some major
hosting issues, and I think they are working with Keith (and also Dave
Middlebrook, another wonderful LiteracyWorkshop member) to find and settle
on long-term solutions. A number of us here are members of both groups.

Mosaic, for those who don't know it, is an excellent K-12 listserv rooted
in the research and practice originating in the book "Mosaic of Thought"
by Ellin Keene and Susan Zimmerman. Ginger Weincek, who used to trade
stories and ideas with John Norton back when we were part of MiddleWeb, is
the moderator. You can check it out at
