Hi Eddie, I do understand this is a huge task, and I'm not asking any single individual to do it alone. Maybe some individual could give the lead, with other volunteers joining in.
Being influenced by Free Software ideas, I think collaborative functioning is the way to go.... Btw, though the task is not as large (but involves a bit of data entry), I'm keen to get every one of the Goa-related books up on the openlibrary [ http://openlibrary.org/] That's a dream. Whether it becomes reality is left to be seen.... There must be around 2000+ books on Goa (though this would be an underestimate, given the number Eddie Fernandes himself has in his personal collection). If some volunteers could add a few books, we could have a significant number (not all) being mentioned online. I had made this suggestion on GoaWriters, and have begun entering a few books (not many). May I also request anyone who has written a book (or even has a favourite Goan book in their collection), to please enter it in the above URL? Anyone can enter the details, as this is a wiki-type of editable-by-all operation. One day we might get there....
