One wants to primarily do characters, and the other to put something
back into fandom. I'm gonna let them pick a couple of stories to
catalogue, and encourage them to test my coding so far. I've got the
entry, update, and query code finished (though it's possible I've left
a bug - particularly in the less well-tested update code). I'm working
on coding to reorder a character's timeline, and then I'll write the
code to automatically send a digest over here (though I'll probably
test it by sending it to me, rather than over here).

That sounds good - hpefully some of our members can start picking up
on what they want to do - remember the files/database on the
whoconcord site.

There's pressure! e need to get some of that input in from this end.

(though I have to work on the interface there, and my list is
currently missing comic/annual stories, and probably a lot of other
stories that are slightly obscure), activate and ban members of the
project (or promote them to admin), and send the digest over here
(when I've written that bit of code, at the moment there's a button on
the admin page that does nothing).

I'll take a look and avoid pressing buttons for now then.

broadband back (my phone line was disconnected without warning, BT
didn't charge me to reconnect, but my ISP say that BT are charging
them to reconnect my broadband, and BT deny all knowledge. It's very
frustrating, and is delaying the return of my broadband, which would
make this so much easier).

Broadband? I've heard of that.
