One thought that occured to me. Does a list of errata exist for Funk's grammar, or is it inerrant? :>) I would think we would want to correct any known errors as part of the process.
Is the final product to be an Acrobat PDF file, or an HTML file? I have seen both in the correspondance over the last few days.
How many pages are in the grammar? The workbook?
I am willing to prepare a project schedule and assist Ken and Brent in coordinating this project.
