Hi Hubert, thanks a lot for the clarification. I did not mean to suggest the bigger picture was less important, it definitely is worth going after! It sounds great what you are all doing, I have so little to add to it. It is only that I wanted to be sure about a few things because it is relevant for European coordination, hence :)
Uploading directly linked from the monument lists sounds like walhalla!
