We're simply not in a position to spend any additional time on these resources. I would like to point out (for those who may have missed it or forgotten) that we do plan to migrate attrition.org's data loss resources (mail list, web site, and RSS feed) completely to DataLossDB.org in the coming weeks. With a little help, we hope it will be a seamless transition.

If even half of the list could contribute those 15 minutes a week to the sites mentioned above or other data loss resources or projects, that would be almost another 200 hours *a week* spent on these issues.
