sjmaxq Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/20/03 Posts: 3230 Loc: Te Ika a Maui	Thanks, F. Do you happen to know if there is any review of the user editing that is done? It's a little wiki-ish.

I am loathe to point to a resource as easily invalidated. _________________________ noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html

I was just a little concerned by this: "The Volunteer page contains a sophisticated web-based system which allows you to reserve a dictionary page, correct it, and submit the corrections. Please volunteer!" _________________________ noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html

maverick Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/15/00 Posts: 4683	Thanks to Lizzie on w/origins for pointing out the BBC site element: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/C54721 Lots of interesting specific topics summarised – for example, see: Alphabets and writing systems / The development of the Western Alphabet.
