Ryan (and other ST listserv members), You asked about the TCRP website: TCLocal is comprised of people who initially worked from the TCRP (Tompkins County Relocalization Project) outline, which has now morphed into the work of the same organization (more accurately a collective of like minds) under TCLocal.
For your benefit and the benefit of anyone reading who has been curious about our group in one way or another, let me share that the TCLocal website has been under new construction and is sometimes irregular and unreliable, as Ryan notes regarding links. Anyway, I'm assured we'll soon be in better shape and that the revised TCRP outline will be posted, along with newer documents, before long.
