I have that site bookmarked already, it's great. I also have a Facsimile of the First Folio for reference. I think I'm set. All I need now is time... but that might not come for a little while.

Indeed, for something to be very comprehensive and accessible it should have a sort of Wiki-feel to it, right? There's so much in the text that can be linked to something... I'll put some time aside sometime to give it a try. I think I'd like to edit the text myself though. That process interests me as well. That’s a great idea Alan.

Try a scene first! As a not-exactly-un-intellectual myself (us real-English would squirm at the idea of being considered intellectual - vaguely continental, smelling of, well, snails and frogs) I don't actually need all those notes - most of which are the flotsam and jetsam of old thinking and out of date ideas.
