There have been various bursts of activity. Getting people to actually do the hard work (constructing definitions and searching for past controversy) remains somewhere between difficult and impossible. The easy work (finding examples and grunt-work reformatting) is progressing decently well. At this point I'm feeling some urges to work on it myself, so if we can get the new CLL squared away as a starting point, I'll probably just grab a couple of local people and sit down for concentrated work on it, perhaps with xorxes via skype or something. On a personal level, I've been pretty disappointed with the community response. It falls far short of what people enthusiastically declared they would do. This is hardly surprising, though, and is in fact exactly what I expected. I would rather have been wrong, though. -Robin -- http://singinst.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future.
