<VV> digitize communique for searchability?

[Harry Jensen, CORSA Executive Secretary]

Hiya--

All of the tech articles are contained in the Tech Guides. The 'original' 
Tech Guide was produced in the '80s and contains all of the Communique tech 
articles from 'the beginning' to about 1986. The Tech Guide Supplement was 
produced in the middle '90s and contains all the Communique tech articles 
from 1986 to about 1996.

The original Tech Guide was laid out on an Apple computer (not a Mac) and 
printed on a oversized paste up boards. It was never properly digitized.

So, a couple of months ago, Mike and I decided we would republish the 
original Tech Guide, renamed Volume 1, and the Supplement, renamed Volume 
2, using modern software, so we can distribute CDs with the printed books. 
We will also publish Tech Guide Volume 3 which will contain Communique tech 
articles from 1996 to about 2006.

Chris, I don't know where this is going yet. I know the books will be 
available in an online store, but don't know yet whether we will have 
individual articles available for sale online. It is an interesting idea. 
We are still working on the 'marketing' of the Tech Guides, both printed 
and CDs and hope to discuss this with the Board in Ventura.
