Thanks for the info, David. Jonathan has done a phenomenal job, indeed. This must be exciting for him and Phil's daughters, Isa and Laura. Too bad they aren't coming to Pittsburgh.
Sounds amazing, wish I wasn't stuck living in the south...someone should film the talks and put it online.
That's a GREAT idea... filming the talks. I'm sure the Trust could work out something, couldn't they, to sell them? Gill, put a bug in an ear ;)
Great Blog! I do hope someone will film or record the talks. As you know. David, there was a whole swarm of people involved in the editing and annotating, though our work was dwarfed by that of Pamela and Jonathan. There were scholarts and students involved in some of the work, and reading The Exegesis together was quite an experience. I gave a talk based on my experiences with the Exegesis project last week here in Central PA. It's available here:

As the excellent Lethem/Jackson intro to the published volume of the Exegesis makes clear, this is only the beginning: transcribing, annotating, tagging, interpreting and organizing the rest of it is a job for Zebrapedia.org, devoted to the online publicatiion and crowd sourcing of the Exegesis.
