Dear Élie, I'm very happy about this development. Two small suggestions:
1) Add a few images of chant scores produced by Gregorio (you're welcome to use any of mine that I've sent you if you like) and links to http://home.gna.org/gregorio/ and http://www.gregoriochant.org/dokuwiki/doku.php -- this way if someone comes to the site who isn't already familiar with Gregorio they can have a better sense of what they'd be supporting. 2) Add a little more biographical information about yourself, as well as an email address I hope this is a successful fundraising project! I'll be happy to send emails to a few bloggers etc. who might be willing to help spread the word once it goes live. yours, bro Innocent On Mon, Jun 16, 2014 at 9:35 AM, Élie Roux <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear All, > > First, I'm sorry for my lack of involvement during the last few month, > there were personal and professional reasons for that, but it will > certainly change soon.
