That sounds like a good idea, David. Seems the challenge would be to impose a sufficiently

fine filter over the validity of inputs as to maintain the credibility of the entire data base -

all without discouraging contributions - a real challenge.

Might such a Fort Sumter Data base have as an end objective the incremental development of

a well-citationed set of conclusions regarding what actually did happen there - a statement that

answers all the who, what, when, where, why and how questions?

Seems I recall you mentioned this a couple of years ago, David.
