Re: tolkien 's &quot;myths transformed&quot;

Barrow -Wight,Taimar,Mithadan &amp;
Galpsi -I am thrilled that there seems to be enough zeal to give it a go. As we all suspected and stated just the preliminaries alone will take us awhile to iron out .{m.martinez put a nice post up on this at White Council I think we all should read re: this}
: }

C.-Wight is it ok to drag other peoples qoute's here[e.g. m.m.'s post mentioned above- and is it [is there]standard procedure for one to get there permission first and... should I ask these sort of tech Q,s via email or do you want to publ icly to respond.
and thanks for the extremely generous offer of hosting. I have no other place in mind { I have only been here the w. council and ent moot}
but it could be there are other considerations I don't even know of[ { I hope not!}]- but maybe this is something to be discussed. But as an ininterim I would be all for say a , stopgap
&quot; A NewSilmarillion ?! : Proposed drafts,Canon Studies and Theories.
section on the downs { be sure to include a special spot for all those who want the whole thing shot down right away! : }
as For all the other suggestions I want to take bit of time and sort through them and then make a formal recomendation as to stucture /procedureswhich will include { I hope] all the ideas listed so far- and then we can all sound off /vote offer amendments.
If this is agreeable - while I am doing this maybe someone who has far more web dexterity than I can spread the word to any and all[ or at least the 'major ' pages
{ is this kosher? } and let them know what is up
w/ our project and if they want to get in on {almost } the ground floor now is the time and that the preliminaries are taking up temporary{?} residence{refuge should I say?} at the downs .
Mithadan would you mind starting on the proposal of yours re: a search of HoME for &quot;points where what is published [are] not what the JRRT intended.
Taimar can you give us some links for creation/ !st age chronologies you mentioned - I would love to see how they handle all the variations!
please forgive me folks if I am being a bit imperious - but it seems as if for the time being someone can set the pace for rowing till we get under sail[ boy - I had to search for that analogy! ]May God and JRRT himself look down from heaven and bless our humble [if bold} labors. Amen
