Perhaps it hasn't been growing quite as quickly as it used to--or perhaps because it has just reached such a size (over 600 artists!) that the small continual growth doesn't seem as apparent. Anyway, there is still a dedicated body of people helping to keep it updated and growing (special thanks to Damon, JoAnn, Anna Maria, and Neal). However, we can always use more help. Even if you can't dedicate much time, there are little things you can do. I'll start with those and build up to things that are a bigger time commitment. * give us blanket permission to quote your ecto email list comments on artists--or give us permission to quote as long as we advise you about it first (the first is easier for us, but the second works, too) * read the Guide and tell us about any typos/errors you spot (email ectoguide@smoe.org or neile@drizzle.com) * check your commentator link and make sure we have you listed as you want to be listed (most people are changing from email addresses because of spam issues, but that has been our default). We may have old email addresses for you that we could consolidate under one identifier. * send us a bio--or update your old one * check your comments--you may want to update or change them * check any entries you happen to read for dead links in the "see also" section (if you feel more ambitious, you could "adopt" a letter or section of the alphabet and go through the links methodically) * let us know about updates you know about for artists on the site * send us info and comments about new albums/projects by artists that already have pages on our site * fill in info for artists who should be on our site but who aren't already, especially artists listed as "not yet available" on the alphabetical indexes * if you definitely can commit to doing this in a somewhat timely manner, volunteer as a reviewer. We particularly need reviewers interested in contemporary folk and soft pop artists * take on creating and editing entries for artists from our back files (either filling in info or filling in info & also editing comments from the archives) Anyway, let me know if you're interested in doing any of these later things and I'll get you started. - --Neile - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- neile@drizzle.com / neile@sff.net......http://www.sff.net/people/neile The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music ......... http://www.ectoguide.org ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V9 #56 *************************
