Thanks for taking the time to do that, Zelmo. Things sound quite rosy. I'm quite glad to see
"Edited Entries, although collaborated on by a number of people, are written primarily by one person – it's their tone of voice and take on the world. Of course, there's an established style, but the fact that our Entries are 'authored' solely, not written by committee – and therefore don't have the personality squeezed out of them" - and that, in business terms, the BBC wants to emphasise that.

I'll add my thanks, too. To both Vip and Zelmo for providing us with such a brilliant interview.
I can't wait to see and the UnderGuide get more FP prominence.

Nice interview, Vip/Zelmo
It's good to know that there's confidence in the future of h2g2, and if there's anyone who's going to stick up for this project in the BBC, it'll be Zelmo & Sam.

What a good start to the week
Thanks Vip for interviewing Zelmo - and thanks to Zelmo for the thoughtful and informative replies.
The part that I was most pleased to read has been highlighted by KB in post 1 - I am very glad to hear Zelmo say
>>>But the real selling point of h2g2, I think, is the fact that Edited Entries, although collaborated on by a number of people, are written primarily by one person – it's their tone of voice and take on the world.
Great stuff

Well, it says that the Post and UG will be more prominent on the FP and will get support, which I think sounds great.
