Hi John
Some packages are free, some cost a nominal sum, and some cost. There are 3
main web sites that have information or data analysis options or
downloadable programs. I probably have the addresses wrong but I've no doubt
I will be appropriately corrected.
1. Software
There's Chris Evans' one in London which has information about a wide range
of software and some downloadable stuff
http://psyctc.sghms.ac.uk/grids/default.htm
Then there's Mildre Shaw & Brian Gaines site which you can use to analyse
grids
http://ksi/cpsc.ucalgary.ca:80/PCP/
and one at the University of Wollongong which has a bibliographic data base
http://www.psyc.uow.edu.au/pcp/
2. Training
I don't know of any formal training. Occasionally I get bolted to the floor
and have to run a workshop - but this has only happened in such unlikely
places as Melbourne, Wollongong, & Hudderfield. I suspect such activities
tend to be local and maybe others can tell you more.

Review
There is only one review specifically of 'computerized repertory grids':
Sewell et al in the International Journal of PCP (1992) vol 5, pp. 1-23 -
though this is broader than grid analysis and doesn't deal with the problems
of analysis. I wrote a bit about this latter problem in my chapter in
Advances in PCP (1990) vol 1 pp. 25-48, but as is obvious from my e-mail the
problems weren't sorted out then.
Finally
I can't think of any single good introduction. There are good bits and
pieces and bad bits and pieces all over the place. An annotated reading list
would be a good idea I suppose.
Regards
Richard
P.S. Yes,I am planning to go to Seattle.
