PROGRESS
Quite amazingly, we have continued to make progress this week, 
despite the ghastly technical problems.

As of today, we have coded/allocated for coding 37815 posts. Of the 
37815, we have actually coded 35935, and rejected 21299 of these 
(59.2%).

We managed 1043 posts, this week with just 5 people coding, and have 
reached post 30 000 on the main list - another minor milestone (ok, I 
made sure we did..).

GROUP MEMBERS
I am pleased to welcome another new member, yet another Kathy 
(snow15145) - now we have three Kathy's, and a second KathyK..hm, 
we'll have to think of a new abbreviation for the catalogue site when 
you are ready to take a look at it (another member of this group, 
zanelupin, is already using KathyK). Would you mind being, maybe 
KathyS (for snow??). It's just an ID on the security page you will 
find. But thanks for joining and email me with any questions.

Doug - Paul tells me he has unblocked one IP, which he thinks is 
yours, so you should be able to get into the catalogue now. We don't 
know if it was your home or work computer, can you email him directly 
about this (kippesp at yahoo.com) ?

Kelly (Corinthum) - Paul is ready to try out the alternate port on 
Monday - please can you contact him directly about it ? Be good to 
get you hooked up at work.

Lastly, David Frankis has decided to bow out, as he has found that RL 
committments mean he cannot contribute as much as he would like.

TECH STUFF
Well, what can I say? Just be assured that Paul is biting the 
carpets, climbing the walls ..and will endeavour to get his internet 
connection fixed ASAP. The good news is that the last technician 
probably identified what the problem was, so now they just have to 
fix it.

However, I have found that the connection is not as bad as all that - 
it comes and goes. You can code quickly for half an hour maybe, then 
it slows to a crawl for a minute or two, then picks up. So, worth 
giving it a try when you can.

However, Paul will post here as and when he can tell us what is 
happening.
