Digital BW, The Print

This is a good idea. I haven't included something like this in the 
monthly list because it is already hard to get 15 people together at 
the same time with no restrictions. When I tried three different 
themes, I spent more time trying to fill and refill the exchange.

After 9 months, it is finally getting "near" automatic, but not by 
much. So I don't want to disrupt the continuity that is starting to 
work for the monthly exchange.

If someone decides to volunteer to manage this one, I'd be glad to 
speak with you offline and help you if you think you might benefit 
from the experiences of the monthly exchanges.
