The reason that the majority of the HPfGU members don't know about 
the project yet is because we don't have a plan to explain. Also, 
initially, there were some substantial legal issues to work through, 
which are now a good deal clearer.

If it is possible that you can find some time to work with Paul to 
help get a prototype interface written, this starts to make the whole 
project a reality. I have also suggested several times that we might 
consider a partial launch once we have catalogued say, 50 000 posts. 
Perhaps early 2005 might be a possibility for that.

Anyway, catch up with you offlist about Paul's detailed suggestions 
which he sent last week.
