Hi Marion (and others),

I've spent a bit of time trying to get your wonderful imc history online; so
that it can be edited in an online environment etc...
It didn't take too much effort with the method we discussed on the phone. I
simply imported the data into a yahoo groups database.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/indyhistory/

You need to subscribe to this group, in order to have access to the
'database' function. Have a look whether this works. You can also see the
whole table in a printable format which is quite useful.

Anyway, see what you think. I think you should be credited for your work
somewhere on this space... So, add your name somewhere if you want; or let
me know where to add the name. if we want to go 'live' with this, we
probably also need a proper description of this group, and maybe an indy
logo or something...

I was also going to talk to Mick about alternative/i.e. open source ways to
get this database online. Yahoo is not ideal, but it might be ok. But let's
not publicise this yet; let's see what else we can try to find a suitable
online environment for this. Mick has been playing with CMS systems like
drupal; maybe he's got an idea...

So far for now...
steffen
