[Dancecult-l] Reference Library

[eliot bates]

Graham and other listies...

I can do *some* compilation (hopefully we can spread the effort!) work 
and the web code to make it happen.

To get the reference list started initially, I think emailing Endnote 
reference libraries around would be best, but my idea for long-term ease 
of use would involve a simple database and eventually a web form for 
adding references. If your webspace has php and mysql I can do this 
easilly. If not, I have web space we can use for it.
