    Dan Green posted the information from Rachel's circular draft on the
    new CBAT Possible-Supernovae Page. We have also put together a public
    information page with images, available at
    http://supernova.lbl.gov/hstsearch04/.

    Adam, Lou - if you'd like us to add any links to your pages, please let
    us know.

    > NOTICE CONCERNING FAINT POSSIBLE SUPERNOVAE
    > Extensive discussions between the Central Bureau and supernova
    > observers in the last couple of years -- largely regarding the
    > problem of very faint, spectroscopically unconfirmed supernova
    > suspects -- culminated in the decision, made at the meeting of the
    > IAU Working Group on Supernovae (WGS) at the IAU General Assembly
    > in Sydney last July, to establish an interactive webpage (cohosted
    > by the CBAT and WGS) that will allow registered users to post
    > discovery observations immediately under a provisional-designation
    > scheme so that the entire community can have ready access to them
    > in helping to confirm them as supernovae. The interactive webpage
    > is still under construction, but with observers' eagerness to get
    > their data announced quickly, the Central Bureau has established a
    > preliminary, noninteractive site at URL
    > http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/CBAT_PSN.html. Contributors are
    > asked to read the instructions at that website and submit data in
    > the standard format described therein. Objects listed at this
    > website will have provisional designations tied in to the date of
    > discovery; any objects later confirmed as supernovae will receive
    > formal supernova designations and be announced, as usual, on these
    > Circulars.
