First, I don't think anyone said anything about not doing those projects
(ER&I, Bulletin index, Online AIS library). As you know from KLG's post they
are looking for help with the indexing, so that is no where near ready to go
online, I have mentioned the problems with the ER&Is, and unfortunately I
don't know anything about the AIS Library project, but that sounds like a good
one to do.
So, once again, I think we should do a little research into what else may make
sense to do while we are waiting for the data to be prepared so the other
projects can go on line. How about volunteering to do some work on the
indexing project?
