I didn't actually check the jbovlaste page prior to my post, so... good point.

I hear you.  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.
