OK granted, but what can we do?  Do we have someone who can accept/edit/prep 
this work and pass it on to the website.  I know I don't have the techincal 
know-how to do It.  And I have no time before the end of the school year.  
Besides you've all seen my posts, I can't spell MY OWN words right, let 
alone someone elses (brain wired funny you know).  We are an ONLINE 
community, someone here should have the techincal no-how to put something 
together.  If you don't have it, can you think of anyone who does.  (I just 
though of two people who could give it a whirl).  This may be the time to 
call in markers/favors/blackmails and get a site up.

On another note, what other projects would you like to see done.  I've heard 
mention of a book of relics, and beast books.  I was thinking of a book or 
two of generic settings (towns, outposts and maybe groups) that a GM could 
turn to when they needed a location in a hurry.  (like tonight when I put 
together a town's population on the spot using a phonebook)  Or maybe a list 
of groups/individuals that a person could encounter.
Along those lines, can anyone else think up something that they wish they 
had, something that went to the tune of "Gee, we see a lot of ____ in our 
game, I wish I had time to write them up, or I wish that Peg would give us a 
source book for it."  Maybe we can fill a need that we didn't know existed.

So, your homework, think of people who might be willing to set an online 
thing up, and what else could we put in this online thing.
