I could envision links from Dennis's database to PDFs of appropriate articles. I bet a lot of people would make use of that! Not that I'm volunteering to help at this point in time. My web site hasn't been updated for almost 5 years (a fact that came up at the local iris society last night); that should be done soon. Also I've been promised a set of Aril photos to scan in the near future :-)

the subject I volunteer to convert them if it's ever deemed useful.
