I was just wondering what your assessment is at this time, of the popularity of the tutorial. I know you guys spent so much time on it over the months it was in production. Have you gotten a lot of positive feedback on it, or have most people just accepted it as part of the wealth of information that we now have on the Titanic?
I think those who are newer to this board may not realize how much effort has been put into gleaning information on Titanic. Not only the tutorial but all of the other sources of information now available, it still amazes me how much more we know now. It truly has been a labor of love for all concerned.
Are there any other things you plan to do to add onto the tutorial? It seems pretty complete to me. But I do have one suggestion. Is it possible to get copies of some of the key photos of Titanic and make a link on Sean's webpage? I guess there may be a problem obtaining rights to some photos, but would it seem a good idea to piece together a nice set of photos that are readily available on the website rather than scattered all over the Internet.
Maybe this is a question for Sean, rather than you, and of course, who can take the time to assemble such a page? But maybe you might consider it as an add-on to the tutorial? Or maybe such a project is too unwieldy. But I do think a nice, readily-available set of key photos of the Titanic would be well-received here on the board, as either an add-on to the tutorial or as a separate part of Sean's Website. Your opinion Mike?
