For those of you interested in this subject there is an e-mail
discussion list on LETS called econ-lets.  Information about it
including how to join it (note that the command for joining is "join"
and not "subscribe") and archives of the list are available on the Web
at URL http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/econ-lets/

I also maintain a web page on LETS and related topics.
