Since the site is a living document, it can't be 100% all the time - there will always be one more correction to make. That said, you can provide me with set list updates directly - we're not dealing with song timings, non-commercial recordings on archive.org or commentary (necessarily), so keep that in mind.
Just started discussing the project with Howard today - will post to the list what DeadList's contribution is once finalized.

I have a ton of corrections to make for the years I'm caretaker for (pre-dead, 1965-1967), that I'd like to get just right before Howard adds DeadList's to his "exhibition". Also, it would be nice to have DeadList's contributors mentioned within this new "exhibition" as we are devoted fans that volunteered communally over the years to get DeadList's where it is today!
