Jim, an easier way would be to build a web page, so people can download
and keep if they want. Someone has to keep updating it, tho. I think
UNIMA Central should be in charge of it, otherwise what are they for? 

We have great success with our Festival Web Page (www.pinz.org.nz), many
puppeteers from all over the world use them and send us info all the
time... Something that UNIMA should also be doing.

I'm happy to load a UNIMA Directory page into our site, but I dont'
think I have the time to keep updating it.


Cheers from Down Under
