I agree.

On my to-do list is to set up one of a couple of pieces of software to support collaborative vocabulary editing (I promised Rick a while ago that I would do this, but haven't got round to it yet).

I think I'll be on that in a couple of weeks, but feel free -- you and Rick -- to prod me if I haven't done anything about it by then.

All the best,

Norman
