Information Policy
In consultation with a number of people I have put the following into place;
  1. All information that we can gather regarding a project is within scope of the project, and will be collected and posted if at all possible.
  2. Information regarding living person's will be privatized (hiding the birth and marriage dates).
  3. All publicly available information that can be found on topic, that is not under a copyright restriction, will be posted to this web space.  If something that is posted is found to be copyrighted, it will be removed immediately.

If you have any other suggestions, please submit them to james@vailweb.net
