Hello, Very interested in Mutopia but not yet having done anything actively (sic) I want to say that I like very much the idea of using wiki for the Mutopia-project.
Like Mike did in his last mail : here a few words on myself : I'm living in Belgium, 61 years old, educated as physician, working since 1979 in the belgian Poison Centre and since more than twenty year quite full time involved there in every aspect of "information". I'm programming too but mostlly VB and VBA (Access). I let the hard stuf for real informaticians. Since childhood I love classical music. The last years I'm very interested in the italian madrigals of the 16 century. I'm working on a website on the flemish-italian Renaissance composer Cipraan De Rore (www.cypriaanderore.be ). For those interested : all pages are automatically created with VBA, with the data coming from an Access database. At the moment Dutch is the primary language of this site but I hope that a complete trilingual version (Dutch, French, English) will be ready within a few weeks. If once I'll find some time I'll also like to add some unedited 16th century madrigals (of collegues of De Rore in Ferrara : Francesco Manara, ...) in the Mutopia Project. To all involved in the Mutopia project : congratulations and thanks for the wonderfull work !!
