I think it is general good news for the MHEG community if commercial
aspects are pushed. There are already some products available, perhaps a
bit hidden in the various WWW pages linked by the MUG (see
http://www/ovma/mug/links.html). I 'd like to invite companies/persons
with more information to let the MUG know about that, so that we can add
more relevant links. We have had some month ago the idea to produce a
banner page for the public (http://www.fokus.gmd.de/ovma/mug/banners/).
This was never linked to the public. Perhaps we can revive such approach
later.
Regarding the concrete proposal: I'd like to draw the attention to the
ESPRIT Project MSC (http://www.mheg-sc.com), working in this area, i.e.
collecting and combining MHEG related products, and offering services
such as training and consultancy. Some well known contributers to MHEG
work are involved, and I think that an exchange of views in Sidney would
be helpful for everyone.
