ELL: Question

[Randy LaPolla]

Hello,
Does anyone know of Yuri Tambovtsev?  He circulated the following
message, and it seems he is unaware of all of the archiving work being
done.  It also seems he is doing a lot of archiving, and if so, he
should be brought into the larger community trying to establish
standards.

All the best,
Randy
