Clark, let me applaud your vision and encourage 
you to take this further. (Let me also express
solidarity with your mental condition: I'm 54, 
developed my first film 41 years back, and my
daughters are aged 4 and 6.)

A very useful project. There are lots of people on
this list who could contribute short illustrated
accounts of what they do. While I am keen on
databases for some tasks, this project might work
better in a simpler, less structured form. Just
offering a text search of the site might make the
information accessible.

I just looked at your website, and liked its clarity
and simplicity. < www.simplephotographs.com >
Something similarly clear and straightforward
would do for this project too...

I like encouraging other people to do things...
