It's been a while, but as a photographer I am pretty sensitive to copyright
infringement.  I made the point repeatedly (against those unnamed folk who
think that once something is on the internet that it's copyright free) that
before articles are gathered and published, we should obtain permissions of
authors.  I kinda recall getting shouted down on the issue, and lost
interest.

There is also the issue of liability.  Don't begin to think that there is
none, just because someone makes a boneheaded entry and someone equally
boneheaded follows the advice and gets killed, that the heirs won't be
looking for someone, anyone, to sue.  That's just the way our society is.

That being said, I'm all for the project.

I suggest that articles be organized to mirror the layout of Bentley, BTW.
It would certainly make finding relevant data easier.

I'll help in any way I can (Photography and graphic design, for the most
part, and I'm a pretty good proofreader.
