Well kind of difficult to do that when somebody doesn't really say who to 
contact with ideas about the app with in the app itself well it can be a 
problem. You notice if you look at my original email that I said I don't know 
who in the world to contact about this. I don't mean to be snippy but it is 
honestly very difficult to contact anybody if I don't know who to contact. Most 
of you people know more about this that I do at this stage and I don't know 
about any of you but sometimes running ideas by the volunteers to actually have 
to do the scanning and or proofreading for the books is better than contacting 
somebody directly first to see if there is any interest on a general basis.
Thanks for the links though next time if I have ideas about the app I'll 
contact them. No really I do appreciate the information.
Thanks,
DR
