Hi all

This is just a suggestion for a way of minimising the chances of duplicated effort on transcriptions.

With so many of us searching "The Times", there is a grave risk that two or more people may end up plodding through the same long article unbeknownst to each other.

I thought perhaps if someone starts to transcribe a long article, if they put its date and subject matter on this thread, that might lessen the chances of duplication.
