Volunteering

Hey Steve, is there anything I might be able to do to help with tBJ?  Particularly, could you use any help compiling the second five years?  I'm a software engineer/computer guru, and I've compiled & reformatted my share of knowledge bases in my time.  I've picked up all sorts of tools and techniques to save time and tedium.  And even if all that needs to be done is grunt-work, I'd be happy to save you the trouble.  I'd also be happy to help with any administrata or updates to the forum or website that you've been unable to attend to.

The first five years would've been a bargain at twice the price.  I'd be completely lost without it.  I'm very eager to find out what else I've missed out on.

I'm at your disposal.

Thanks for the offer. On the Second Five, that really has to be handled by me as the applications that I used for composing are not commonly found (Lotus Suite). I did fall off the wagon again as I needed to tend to some other business but I've nearly finished it. Anyway, there are some areas where you might be able to help. I'll give it some serious thought.

I'm told that Lotus Symphony is free software that can convert lotus suite documents to Open-Office's Open Document Format (ODF) or Microsoft Word format.  If not, I believe I'm able to acquire a copy of Lotus suite for WinXP.

Thanks for the tip. I like the Lotus stuff (Word Pro, Freelance) because their applications seem to have a lot more degrees of freedom for layout and graphics. I find myself always fighting with Word and PowerPoint. I have used Open Office a bit but not to any extent.
