MUCH LATER
Import William Collins Bibliography of English-Language Works on the Bábí and Bahá'í Faiths 1844-2003. Author has already given permission and has provided a complete database, just awaiting importing. Estimated time: 5-10 hours to migrate data + 10-20 hours to program various user interfaces + 10-15 hours to program contributor interfaces + 5-10 hours to add various security and back-up features necessary for a collaborative system + 10-20 hours for things I don't yet know are needed = 40-75 hours
Add feature to retain archive copy of every incoming file, and then have subsequent edits of that file save the file to a new field. Then add an admin feature to replace new edits with old ones, in case a new edit is incorrect or has lost data. This is especially important for people who edit long files using a browser that truncates them in the text area box. Add second table to database for multiple-editor backup. This will function as follows: anytime a user edits a file that he/she was the most recent editor of, the changes are saved directly to the main database table. But anytime a user edits a file that was last edited by someone else, the old version is written to a backup table and the new changes are saved to the main table. Thus no one can mess up a file without the option of its being restored.
Correct data entry for Reviews collection. Need a separate field for title and author of book being reviewed, or some other consistent formatting.
check web stats for incoming links to old html pages; redirect them.
