Jansy is right to want to centralize our efforts. This abundance of un-seen material, between Dmitri's and Dieter's holdings, could be of interest to a publisher--Might Dmitri approach Vintage or others and ask their advice?

What's better that this List for a first exchange? I don't know how I can help, but if instructed, I'm certainly willing to contribute with this initiative of DVD-izing precious documents that run the risk of getting lost.

What would it cost to do, and how many of us would be willing to contribute? What would we be willing to pay to own the proposed DVD? I would certainly be eager to be part of such an enterprise. There are on-line agents willing to take charge of sales.
