Paul, I attempted to run a link checking program on Dave's site last
night. The results were less than useful. Dave suggests that the links
would all have to be checked manually. I'm willing to spend some time
going through the list. I know I could never get through the whole
thing, but perhaps I could commit to checking one section. Given your
plans for a new and improved database driven site w/ form-based
submissions and editing, do you see checking the links manually as worth
the time?

I'm willing and able to commit an hour or two per week to performing
editor duties.

I too think Dave's categories are good starting point.

I'm working full time and also have other projects going. But, I do have
some time and would really like to help out. I know Python somewhat and
have a little experience working with it. I've worked with the
DocumentTemplate module from Zope, too. So, I may be able to help out
some if needed with scripting stuff.
