[aaloa supporters] The definition for AAL in the manifesto

[Francesco Furfari]

  Dear Saied,

I'm sorry we were very lazy to take a decision.
However as you know something perfect doesn't allow people to comment, 
so in this way we may lead someone to discuss with us of something  ;-)

I would say to froze the Manifesto (of course not the subscribers) . If 
clarification of the statements reported in the Manifesto is needed (we 
had only 3 pages) , then we can write compendium docs, or white papers.  
I think we need to smoothly discuss and compare the different positions 
we have and this could lead to the revision of the Manifesto by the next 
year ...

However yesterday Casper printed all the material for the AAL Forum and 
today the brochure of the EvAAL contest.

soon other news
