A forgotten resource

Many moons ago, I used to visit a site full of articles on proposals and other subjects. I had forgotten about it until tonight.

Mel Lester (aka The Business Edge) offers http://www.bizedge.biz/index.htm "as a valuable source of "how-to-get-things-done" information and tools. He set out with an ambitious goal: To create the best internet resource for helping managers of architectural, engineering, and environmental consulting firms succeed, both corporately and personally.

Check the articles page http://www.bizedge.biz/articles.htm which has the following proposal related articles:

Although I think the site has been somewhat dormant for a bit, you can help contribute. Give Mel your feedback on how to make his site more useful by suggesting topics, asking questions, sharing ideas and passing along links to other resources you've found helpful.

Thanks Mel!
