[Sigcabinet] ASIS&T SIGs - things to spend $ on

[Phillip M Edwards]

I've created a space for us to work on this on the ASIST wiki:

http://www.asis.org/wiki/chapters-sigs/index.php/SIG_Cabinet/Prioritized_activities_for_SIG_funding_requests

It's a subpage of the SIG_Cabinet wiki page. I'll try to add some
preliminary ideas later today... -Phil
