I propose that UU circulate a list of volunteers who are willing to
answer questions on a particular topics over e-mail.  Readers who have
a question on that topic can look up the list and e-mail questions to
the users listed.  I hope this idea will help to "bootstrap" UU.
Hopefully over time, there will be more students and teachers, and UU
will gradually develop an infrastructure and be forced to resolve
issues regarding universities.

I'll volunteer to maintain this list.  If anyone wants to be added or
removed from the list of consultants, please e-mail me at
(joe@athena.mit.edu).

To get this list started on an experimental basis:

I (joe@athena.mit.edu) am willing to answer e-mail questions on
astrophysics and Chinese history.  I have a bachelor's degree in
physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and am now an
astronomy graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin and my
research consists now of studying the hydrodynamics of supernova
collapse.  My teaching experience consists mainly of serving as a lab
TA for AST103L (Introductory Astronomy Lab for Non-Majors) here at UT
Austin.

I'll try very hard to answer all the e-mail I get.  Since I don't know
what the volume of the e-mail I'll get will be, I can't guarantee
anything.  After about a month or so, I'll report back here with the
feedback I'm getting.
