UPDATE, Sunday 25th July

PROGRESS
We have now coded/allocated 17815 posts, and reached a new benchmark: 
post 10000 on the main list.

Of the 17815, 16706 have actually been coded, and of these 11559 have 
been rejected - 69.1%.

This week, with 5 people spending time on the project, we did 2325 
posts, quite an improvement on last week. 


ADMIN
Very pleased to welcome two new people to the group: Debbie from 
Admin and Entropy (Corinne). They are having a bemused look round and 
wondering what on earth they have got themselves into. Ahem, try to 
look positive and cheerful everyone; pretend you are enjoying 
yourselves...

Also Kelly comes back to dry land shortly, and will be back with us 
in a week or so. She has done a great job working on her laptop with 
no Internet access for the last two months and me updating her by 
email direct to her ship. Now all Paul has to do is merge the two 
versions of the database. 

Actually, plenty to be cheerful about IMO. The copyright questions 
are actively being looked at by Heidi, and are probably not going to 
be a major problem. And if anyone needed any confirmation that this 
catalogue is desperately needed, go re-read the recent debate on OTC. 
Nearly every other person more or less demanded an improvement on 
Yahoo, and several suggested a similar project. I would have so liked 
to post something, but just couldn't until we have more details 
decided.
