'Drafts for comments' offers bulletin readers the opportunity to
submit information about drafts or projects on which they would like
to receive comments from the community. This brings work in progress
to the attention of the community and plays some of the role that
previous incarnations of the archive played.
Please submit basic article/project information and (a) a URL if the
item is available online or else (b) your contact email.
