One of things we can do is set aside a royalty fund for Cope... After making a legit, documented effort to contact him.
It's a not uncommon method for anthologies of early 20th century works. We would just need a statement in the forward letting peeps know and letting Cope know how to contact us.

He long ago (at least 20 years ago) left the community. He dd appoint me in charge. Anyone have any idea how to0 contact him?

Despite the stories readily available to read for free online, the rights to the stories are still held by their individual authors, as they are the ones listed to have written the stories. As such any project that involves their works must get their written approval for it, and they must be made aware of the anything related to the project and their work, such as if there's a plan to make a profit off of the project, or if it'll be translated. I've read stories related to the gaming emulation community where one developer of an Open Source program was approached by a large company, they paid that one person money for the rights to be able to sell said program. None of the other developers were ever notified about this, which was required, and it led to a large legal battle which ended up having all the other developers blacklist that one for his illegal actions, and move all their work to another project and let the old one just die from lack of support and maintenance. It even led the company to cancel their project due to them not legally having the rights to sell and distribute, as not all of the developers were notified or received any money for their work. In that case, and maybe in this one too, it would be difficult to get all the creators permission, because you have to track down every person who wrote the stories you want to include, and get their written permission. Some may have left the community and their most recent contact information is no longer valid. Some may have left this mortal coil, in which case you'd have to either contact their immediate family or their estate, and hope they will do what the author would have done. Any story where there were more than one author, you might be able to get away with getting permission from just one, however you would have to be prepared to give the other author(s) the same that you offered the first one, in case they became aware of what happened and are wanting to know why they weren't asked as well.
