+Thanks for your response.
+Thanks for the database link. That might be helpful as well, but I need to
+figure out what should be included, and what is helpful. Maybe I'll be talking
+with them separately.
+For now, although I'm a professional developer in a large company, I am
+currently learning the Android App technology. I think I'll be done learning
+that in about a month. I'll figure out what my proposed app will do, and then
+show you what I intend. Then we can work out an arrangement.
+At some point I'll need to come up with a small (perhaps less than 20%) subset
+of your data for testing purposes. I can probably glean that on my own, but if
+you want to help provide that, I guess that could speed it up. If you are
+comfortable granting me permission to do that part (to grab content
+representing less than 20% of your website, and I won't publish the data, only
+use it for Proof-of-concept purposes), that would be great, or we can wait
+until I design the "system." Your choice.
+One thing to keep in mind. I doubt that we'll be getting rich on this. The
+user community is probably something like a few hundred, even trying to go
+global. I had a target price in mind of $10 for the app. If you do the math, I
+think you'll get the idea here.
+In case you're curious:

+Dan:
+Go ahead and grab whatever you need for testing & development, but don't
+publish or release it until we've worked out the details.
+I haven't worked on it in a couple of years, but it looks like you should be
+able to grab what you need (synonyms) from each entry file by doing this:
+. Throw away everything up to "<!--NAMES-->".
+. Search for the next "</table>" and throw away everything that follows.
+. In the text that remains, each name is delimited by "<b>" and "</b>".
+You can easily extract a list of all the entry files from either of these
+files:
+http://www.organstops.org/_apps/FileList.html
+http://www.organstops.org/_apps/FileIndex.html
+I really should modernize the HTML; I developed the site long before I became
+fluent with CSS.
+I'm on my third droid, and have an Android tablet.  I poked around with the
+SDK shortly after I got my first droid a few years ago, but didn't go beyond
+"hello, android".  I had wanted to develop a series of virtual musical
+instruments, but when I found how how unsuited that platform is for doing real-
+time sound synthesis, I pretty much gave up on the idea.  (I hear iOS is much
+better, but I won't have anything to do with it because of how Apple treats
+independent developers.)
+Regards,

+I don't know if I let you know I received this. Thanks!
+I'll probably need a few weeks to come up with a design, and to learn the
+Android programming "flavor." Feel free to ask me if you want status,
+otherwise, I'll let you know when I have something to show you.
+I'm kind of busy personally, so thanks in advance for your patience.

+Hi Ed:
+As predicted, I've been quite busy, and have made no progress on this project.
+But I just recently got outsourced from one company to another, and the
+circumstances may be more conducive to resuming the effort.
+I hope to start grabbing a sample of your data in the next couple of weeks.
+After that I'll come up with a functionality design. After that, once I get an
+idea of how this will all fit together, I'll make you an offer on your "slice."
+Of course, I'm 100% in compliance and agreement with what you've asked
+regarding your data.
+Thanks again for your patience.
