Re: VMs: Voynich images and wiki

Hi Nick et al

Looks promising.

Don't forget to advertise Beinecke, and with thanks.

The issue of mirroring is going to cause problems I suspect.  I don't 
know about others but I do wonder if they can handle the traffic - at 
least in the short term.  I can't download the large files - the 
downloads just freeze.  My computer support staff have tried for me and 
report that 80% of the time the larger jpegs don't load either.  They 
comment that perhaps this is all a ruse to get people to buy the CD. 
However, such sluggishness will encourage mirroring, and thus eat into 
CD sales.  Yet, putting heavily linked pages into the wiki is perhaps 
inconsiderate.

Is there room here for you/us/the community to negotiate some sort of 
deal whereby in return for advertising the CD on our wiki we get to have 
a mirror or two for our use (perhaps limited to voynich list subscribers)?

We don't really want to get up their collective noses after all they 
ahve done.
