This page is shaping up great. With this, do we really even want to transcribe all the interviews? I understand the point is keeping it in case the original goes away, but there is a plethora of good links here ... --MitchO 13:25, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

If we do decide we want to transcribe every interview it will be one massive job and ongoing. It is possible but it will involve a hell of a lot of man hours. Do we have the number of people to achieve it? I didn't even realise that was the overall plan, I should probably pay more attention. I will get cracking on it at some stage if that's what wants doing but wow, should be fun. --BenS 13:40, 22 May 2008 (EDT)
