John: I was thinking along similar lines as you. In my version, I was also going to give priority to correcting mistakes, clarifying assumptions, educated guesses, etc, as opposed to adding new material (I am not sure that a 1-month verification period is sufficient to reach a concensus on the initial release of data). However, in addition, I have a stack of new material about 5 inches thick that I have yet to enter into the database (along with references). While the list is evaluating the initial release, I thought, perhaps naively, that I would have time to input some of this material that is in the queue. If I wait to enter all of the new material, then it would delay posting of the initial release to the web, however, it would be more complete. As I post updates, it will also be difficult to keep track of what has changed if I am simultaneously responding to the verification process, as well as adding new material. At this point, I have a working knowledge of html programming (just enough to be dangerous) and could probably post the initial release (warts and all) as early as this week (or on the weekend). It will also include a list of references, which I have found a way to have automatically generated with The Master Genealogist, the program I use to keep track of everything. I would be interested in hearing from others on the Behymer list as to how they would like me to proceed. Should I publish now, warts and all, or wait? Should I delay adding new material to the database until all of the verification comments on the initial release have been addressed? (in this case I would put my 5" stack of new material on hold). Or would you rather I continue to incrementally add the new data that I have, and withhold the verification process until some appropriate point in time? John Charles Tippet JohnDoeTippet@csi.com
