O'Neill's Project's History

This is a merger of Dan's Progress and Files tables. I've tried to collect all the information about who transcribed which tunes when. If you can fill in any of the blanks, please send me mail. Note that many of the email addresses are no longer valid; the best way to locate any of the transcribers might be to ask on the irtrad-l mailing list.

Only a few people have volunteered to proofread someone else's block of files. However, a number of people have fed large parts of the collection to their favorite ABC tools and sent me the error output. I'd like to thank Henrik Norbeck and Frank Nordberg specially for doing this. The result has been to eliminate most of the portability problems, so that this collection should work pretty well with any reasonably standard ABC software.

I've also unpacked all the tunes into two directories, where I make most of the changes:

F Block of tunes.
X Single tunes by index number.

The Tunes links below will return the current versions of the tunes in blocks of tunes as sumbitted by the transcribers. These are built from the tunes in the X directory, which is where I do any editing.
