Hi Dave -

For IP if you like.  Your readers may remember our July 4th release of  
California public safety codes.  After a systematic survey of all 50  
state fire marshalls, building commissions, administrative codes, and  
other authorizing legislation and regulations, we are pleased to  
announce that our code site has now gone national:

http://bulk.resource.org/codes.gov/

These codes are all critical for public safety, apply to us all, and  
the model codes and standards incorporated therein were all intended  
to be made into laws by the standards creators.  It is ironic that the  
laws that most directly touch our daily lives have been the least  
accessible, locked up behind a cash register.

In addition, the above-referenced directory features other laws of  
general applicability, including the California Code of Regulations  
and California local and county administrative codes.

A readme directory explains some of the underlying issues, making use  
of the scads of 3-ring binders we accumulated in purchasing materials  
for this release to create a set for "Code City," a graphic novel of  
sorts.

Enjoy!

Best regards,

Carl
