  But it is a start. Once you have this, you can try to
  build service other services. I have been working
  on a free author registration service based in part on
  OL

  I found this to be a big problem. I never completely
  read the entire OL  data in and I am mulling now
  to delete the OL data from the bibliographic collections 
  I use. 

  As an aside I am coming late to this discussion. 
  I probably missed some important contributions. I
  tried to look up the archive but 

http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech

  only shows me June 2010. Is it just me or has the 
  Internet Archive problems archiving its mailing lists?

  Cheers,
