Well at this point they are fully funded so not much to do other than wait and see if they produce an actual product > As Richard notes, we'd need more of a description to say yae/nae.

Sure things like HMS Hazard can be dived without permission but more interesting stuff would generally require working with a respected archaeological group or university. That said an ROV might get around the ban on HMS Hood (1891). I can think of a few other targets but my knowledge of wrecks is limited to the solent area. In terms of marine life while thats not really my area I assume there must be something on the basis that you can get reasonable results just sticking a waterproof camera in a rock pool. I admit better restults could probably be obtained in areas with near surface coral. > However we do have difficulty in finding good projects to fund.... can you > describe one to us? http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Random_ideas -- geni _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
