Web version 1.7
This is a bridge web edition, designed to pare away much of the unwanted clutter
of previous versions prior to the release of CD-ROM version 2.0, which will take
into account some of the (many) things learned during the intial production
of the ENL on CD-ROM. With this coming major version update
we hope to prepare the ground for a truly useful rebuild of the Encyclopedia,
with planned feature releases.

The townsplus subset (24 populous communities, plus all their first order
links) has been created and posted as a subset, just so there won't be
nothing here for people to read.
The subsetting scripts themselves have now been put to good use, by adding
100+ addtional communities, so that every place with a CAP site and an
encyclopedia entry is included in the subset.
Yay.
item: NEWS_20070403
If I am reading this, I've finished this debugging cycle.
The news will now pool the last N postings, as long as they are of
the form news_YYYYMMDD[a-z] (the 'a-z' allowing for multiple posts per day).
It comes down to this, I'm busy enough adding new features that
docmenting them is an unnecessary chore. This way I can just float out a few
lines as a milestone and carry on.
Naturally, the first piece of news is that the news collector is
working....
