Also be aware that those three questions in the document are important and
still open for discussion. Hopefully we can get things cleared up.

In addition, I have additions to the list of developers who will need
memorials. I am thinking we may be able to contact individuals who have
already written and ask for their input, particularly considering I know
absolutely nothing about many of these people. I think there may be a couple
other recent deaths that aren't on this list, too. 

If anyone has started working on a Gary Gygax memorial, let me know. I'm
trying to write one, but it's actually pretty difficult - every time I try
and write something he just seems dwarfed by Dungeons and Dragons. The
biggest thing to get across isn't just that he made the game but that he was
always friendly, happy, and supportive to those who played his games and
would enjoy hearing how D&D made their lives better. I also would like to
write a nice memorial for Gunpei Yokoi, partly in relation to my work at the
Metroid Database.

Great, looks good!

I'll sort something for the other procedures I mentioned hopefully this
week, and put them up and link all the things together.

Everyone; this is ongoing, so it's all subject to change if it's needed

:) comments always welcome, although this is really just saving everyone

work (ie; we don't put up a page about everyone's dog) apart from the 3
core reasons for doing the project.
