Dear Jeff,

Congratulations on finding a possible data donor and taking the
conversation this far.  You may want to take this conversation to the
"Imports" mailing list[1] where the goal is matching folks up to
locate, acquire, convert and import data sets from various sources.
There will also be an "Imports" list conference call this week for
those interested.[2]

I would be pleased to help you with the current discussion in any way
that I can.  I took part in a similar discussion that lead to a data
donation from the Canadian government.

Best regards,
Richard.
