Fabio Savian has kept us all in touch with progress on this project. While it can be a great resource for those wanting to find dials in a certain area, it needs to be approached with caution. In the UK, in particular, we have many valuable dials in public places, which are at high risk of theft. Horizontal dials in churchyards are the most obvious example, but those in private gardens are also at risk, even where security might be expected to be high.
I would therefore strongly caution all those who contribute to this project, to keep this risk clearly in mind, and not to register any dials which might become a target for thieves. John Foad Registrar, British Sundial Society.
