We agreed on the 1 Feb 2012 teleconference that it is a good idea to document work on these many good ideas using this H-Anim public wiki. Further comment is welcome about this.

+
The main thing that is needed next is to get the H-Anim Working Group restarted and rejuvenated.

*H-Anim WG Charter

*TODO: we need 1-2 members who are willing to volunteer to serve as working group co-chairs.
