recent activity...

I've been spending a lot of time lately when not at actual "work work", and when not volunteering at the library and whatnot, editing and helping administer a site called the International Music Score Library Project - where public-domain (or otherwise free for use under conditions) scores, books, recordings of and about music, can be uploaded and downloaded, or information about them edited for correctness - it's based on Wiki software, so anyone not specifically barred for bad behavior can edit, basically. (Hrm, alliteration!) And the social atmosphere and professionalism, and the commitment to preservation and other library values - to getting music out there so that a freak accident doesn't destroy the only copy, as really has happened too often, I am not choosing a random never-happens example... - is strong, likewise other good reasons to be there... of course as with any social site there's some level of, well, ... drama, to misuse a word (nothing in common with Greek drama.)

off to "work work" in a bit. right now working on a few projects indeed -for- imslp , so wanted to post about it - if that's not allowed here, I forgot, and hope a tap on the shoulder will remind me so that I may delete the post :) (It is a nonprofit site though it does accept advertising and has a regular arrangement with amazon, which makes sense since the amount of bandwidth, server space , etc. .. - well - ... ermm... imslp needs quite a drain on computer resources.)
