[DO101]

Thanks Lucy for the information.

I was looking to put something together on a regular basis (ex.:
1/month) for training, using real data to interest people.

The idea of Data Expediation sonds very interesting.

I was looking to have a small group and built up the lessons, going step
by stpe.

I will keep an eye on your Data Expeditions ;-)
