[MEI-L] Lost Voices Project is Live!

[Benjamin Wolff Bohl]

Dear Richard,
almost forgot...
this is fantastic news - looks like a very intersting interface and web 
presence from what I can tell from a short visit!
I hope to have a deeper look at it in the near future.

  thank you for sharing
All the best for you and your project,
Benjamin
