On the other hand, "planned" changes sometimes take a long time. I mean, I know I've read items dated back in the '90's that talked about plans for producing a printed dictionary and... well... the '90's are long past. So if the plans look like they're going to be implemented, say, this year, than I'd agree that holding off might be a good idea. But if it looks like things won't be completed for several years, then maybe it might be worth doing just as an interim thing. "A bird in the hand" and whatnot. Anyway, if there's any interest, I'd be happy to set it up. Since profit isn't a motive, I'd make the list price the same as the base price (i.e., basically at "cost"). I'm no artist, so if we wanted a nice looking cover it might be good to "outsource" the cover design to someone on the list who is less graphically challenged than myself. Anyway, just random thoughts that occured to me this morning. mu'o mi'e la skat.
