We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this project a reality:
the Mellon Foundation for its generous grant, all of the participants in
our workshops and the others we interviewed for their time and insights,
and the team of dedicated Berkman fellows and Harvard students for their
hard work.  As always, we welcome comments about the analysis.  We expect
to  continue work in this area and I hope that we can also continue to
draw  on the extraordinary expertise of those who helped with the project
thus  far.  Warmest regards,  William McGeveran Berkman Fellow
