We've all been there :-)

Interestingly, Lance has joined this forum (look, see, he's the guy
reaching for the unsubscribe button!). Feel free to let him know
what you think :-)

Well whoconcord strated as a project tied into the whoniverse.org
site. I'm not sure how far things are progressing overall, but
there's too much to input for one person.

I was on quite a roll earlier this year - before real life and the
need to complete a contract got in the way. All that finished with
the month of March, so I'll be adding more myself and keen (as some
of my posts have already indicated) to get input/comments/feedback.

Doctor has met and the organisations. And I'd like to help filling
in other databases seeing as I am going to be playing catch-up over
the next few months.

Well AHistory will be a pretty useful resource to help me fill that
one in. It has nearly all the Doctor's famous meetings listed in
chronological order - all for the sake of a few hours' reading.

with it? If not for classic stuff, maybe to cover facts from the new
series as they appear?

Its a mammoth task, and we've both already mentioned AHistory, and
thats the most definitive take on a chronology you're likely to get
for some time. There are omissions (a few oversights, but mostly
stuff deliberately left out such as continuity from from comics,
short stories, later publications, etc.), so there might be some
mileage in listing some of the stuff that isn't captured there.

What do others think?
