Hi folks,

PaleoPortal.org is a comprehensive website on paleontology that also has 
information and images on bedrock geology for states throughout the US + 
Canada and Mexico). I am working with colleagues to make it possible for 
informal science education venues to easily create (for free) a customized 
non-Internet based version of core information from the website. This then 
could be added to an inexpensive computer kiosk. For example, you might 
want to make only information from the Paleozoic of the Northeast available 
in a given exhibit, and you might want to customize the information or 
graphic available on the "home page" of the site so that it feels 
custom-made for the Museum or exhibition.

We would be deeply appreciative of anyone willing to spend a little time to 
try out and provide feedback on the "site generator" online sometime later 
this week. It might take half an hour. For now the primary reward (other 
than my eternal gratitude) would be that if you like what you see you'd be 
able to use whatever you create right away. If you're interested please 
reply offline ([log in to unmask]). Thanks!
