This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Greetings,
   
       I am an avid Wolfe reader, and am just beginning RttW, so no spoilers yet for me!  Anyway, I would be interested in helping to compile a glossary/reference work or help in any way on a close read.  I recently purchased Lexicon Urthus off ebay and while it is quite good, I was hoping a secord try might run a bit deeper (without turning into the OED) and span New Sun, Long Sun and Short Sun, plus related shorts.
   
       Obviously, it is a big job, and won't be completed anytime soon, but it could be made much easier by numbers of readers, enthusiasm, and the web.  I would be willing to help fund it, as well.  What I would be interested to know is what an annual cost might be, plus interest level of contributors.  Also, I wouldn't want to run afoul of other copyright holders.
   
       By the way, I have been following everyone's comments for months, and have even fought through many of the old posts back to the beginning.  Reading different perspectives has really helped me come to enjoy the whole much more deeply.  It's just amazing what each individual hits upon as being important, while others (usually me) miss it entirely.  Thanks to all of you for that.
