Thanks :-)

Thanks for responding. Where we have no one here from a N-L we will take the 
approach of archiving the N-L site.

Where there is someone from a N-L project involved I much prefer to leave it 
their expert hands. I think that the idea of archiving the true legacy makes 
sense.

We'll need to all come together to make sure the N-L approach will work and 
that it provides a good process for other N-L sites as volunteers appear.

Best Regards,
Dave
