No disrespect, but ... That seems like a collosal waste of time. I could *perhaps* see a benefit to a directory structure that organized the texts by original paper publication date, but the date we got around to it? I really don't see a benefit there. Especially since as the years went on, we got "ahead" of the game and had things being posted in an entirely different time frame than what we were reporting them as being posted.

Hi all, It's Jared :) I'm a college student down here in California, and I've been with PG for some time as a DP and more recently as one of the newsletter editors. Prof. Hart and I have been talking about (by email) the possibility of reviving the old directory structure (ie etext 03, etext94, etc) as perhaps a classic PG website or at least an alternative site for users to browse etexts the way they did before, with the etexts organized by year. It's the structure I am most used to, and in discussions with Hart and Greg Newby, I believe a project of this scale can be undertaken (to create a separate site housing the etexts under the old directory structure.
Prof. Hart also tells me there has been some discussion on this issue on the mailing list recently, but I only just joined the gutvol list a few days ago. Perhaps someone wouldn't mind filling me in on what I missed?
