[Coco] Rainbow on Disc Project

[tonym]

Does anything in the original contract preclude someone else from finishing it, or working on it besides you, ie,
"subcontracting" someone else to finish it, although obviously no money would be charged for the work being done?

In other words, give it to someone else to finish, and then goes back to you when complete...

Rather than reply to each post separately I am going to try to answer 
all queries and comments that have come up so far here.

The contract is not transferable. This was specifically stated by 
Lonnie in our email discussions, so even if a lawyer could give a 
"thumbs up" to go forward the contract is only valid for me. I would 
not feel comfortable handing the resources of the project over to anyone 
without assurances that the current copyright holder approves.

As for my role in the project I have come to a point where I can not 
take the time to pursue this without sacrificing time from my work or 
family, and I am not willing to do either. I agree that this project is 
important to the Coco community and I would love to see it finished, but 
someone else is going to have to take it over.

Regards,
Michael Harwood

 The Rainbow on Disc project has come to a halt pending acquiring
 permission from whomever is the current holder of the copyright to the
 magazines. I have sent snailmail, attempted phone communication, and even
 convinced Mark Kramer to call Prospect's City Hall to see if she could get
 someone to pass along a message to get things going.

 At this point I am halting all work on the project and putting it up for
 grabs to anyone who is willing to acquire permission to continue. I will
 ship all project resources (e.g. magazines, all magazine images, Document
 Express software, etc) to the person(s) who can provide documentation that
 they have permission to continue this work. I will pay for shipping via
 USPS media mail within the US - any sort of international shipping will
 need to handled by the receiver.

 I am truly sorry about this, but at this point the time my work and home
 life require does not leave any room to continue the project and I would
 rather hand over the reigns than let it fester.

 Michael Harwood
