While Im very excited about SETTING UP the database, I should make it clear that I
personally do not have the time or inclination to enter anything other than data
collected here at Dreamtime, all relevant to zones 3-4-5.. at some point we may be
able to free up an intern to help enter things such as what claude just mentioned,
but I think the idea here is that people have to be responsible for getting their own
data entered. that part is quite easy, from an exisiting database, its all cut &
paste, anyone with beginning computer skills can do it. HOWEVER, in my opinion is is
VERY TEDIOUS & monotonous.... where's the grant money when you need it?
At the point when the database is up & going, anyone hear could volunteer to enter
some or all of the data on the cdrom which Claude mentions, in an ideal world anyway.
