 Hi Steven

 Congratulations for a great idea -
 As a complete newbie myself, may I suggest that a little more info would be
 included on the CD - I know it takes time and hard work but am willing to
 help if needed..

 I am for example reading all the time new info over the subject but among
 the wide offer I am struggling to find out how and where to start my
 collection. Maybe a list of the most historical falls or finds and some
 minimum info 5ie. dtae weight, classification) could help. I don't know if
 this info is already available anywhere. Or what about something on the
 classification, with examples of each class.
 Maybe the list of lunar meteorites which is published by a university could
 fit in there as well (don't know if there would be a copyright issue
 though)..

And a list of links to the websites of list members..

 Don't get me wrong, I'm not reclaiming, only suggesting - thanks for your
 nice idea anyway :)

 Frederic Janik
