Re: proposal for standard industry modules

[Steve Wise <swise@aoot.com>]

I understand the issues, and its no skin off my nose if the board 
doesn't want to store the transition modules.  That's understandable and 
   ok!

But if it helps the matter, I'm willing to donate these modules to the 
club.  That also might encourage others to make industry siding modules 
that plug into these.
