I wrote Scott Fine the following -
Suzanne Stephens recommended you for writing web design contracts. This was
on the Dreamweaver email list. I posted asking if anyone was interested in
approaching you as a group. If we got our requirements defined and clearly
stated, would you be interested in writing a contract for a group of about 7
designers? ( maybe more). To eliminate confusion, we would choose one person
to communicate with you. Thanks for your consideration.

If everyone interested could make a list of their concerns, we could present
Scott with one list if he is interested. As this is off topic, send the
list to me, or if someone would like to volunteer to lead??
