Dear All,

One told me very recently that Joyal is writting a book about 
"quasi-categories". But with a different meaning. A quasi-category is a 
simplicial set satisfying a condition a little bit weaker than the Kan 
condition. Morally speaking, two composable arrows have several possible 
compositions, up to homotopy. I dont know whether Joyal reads this 
mailing-list ?
