Opinions needed?

[Gaetan Charlebois]

Hello All

I have been mulling over a new addition to the encyclopedia and would
appreciate opinions from this group.

I am considering, after discussion with some of you, putting a section into
the work that will have reviews from productions across the country. These
reviews would be solicited from you (no fee, sorry) and from members of the
press (especially free-lancers who own the rights to their work) who would
allow reprints. (The material would be archived and always available at the
site.) I like the idea very much but for one thing:

As I have mentioned, the purpose of the encyclopedia is: Inform, celebrate.
If I start putting in reviews, some obviously less celebratory than others,
I'm afraid I may shift the tone away. However, in terms of recording these
events and archiving them, it could be valuable information (especially if
people truly participate...)

What do you all think?
