Well! I think this is just a *superb* idea! Absolutely NO doubt that
this list has sufficient talent for such an effort. Indeed, quite a lot of
material exists now (Steve[!] pictures, Loezenge discussions, lists of mfg.

I'd certainly pitch in with anything that might be deemed of use (I
don't know if I'd refer to my modeling attempts as a "contribution").
Further, I'd be happy to assist with any coordination or editing chores.
