AGAIN: sharing the data

[Marta Caroscio]

Dear Giancarlo, dear all,

sorry for not answering so far, but writing my dissertation kept me away 
from anything else!
Yes, of course I would like to share my data. There is no problem concerning 
my own ones, but the point is that usually they are part of a lager project 
involving several people. If only my data are available you do not get any 
idea about the context.
It might be not easy to convince everybody to share their data, most of all 
if they are still unpublished, but I can try to sort it out.
I do not have much time now, but I will have more from jenaury onwards.
Anyway I will keep an eye on the mailing list

Cheers,

Marta.
