What are we going to do about the files on Cybalist? Do we need to split
the messages into blocks of say, 2000 messages, and assign them to
volunteers to uplink? I suppose we need to create hyperlinked indexes from
message numbers to files in the archive. At least we can use the visible
names, rather than the obscure URLs that they get translated to.
I'll start the ball rolling by volunteering for one such block.
Richard.
P.S. What are we doing about Phonet and Nostratic? I've got Nostratica
covered.
