Yes, that is very true! If you get here early, you get a much broader choice, and there is not a bad choice in any of these sections! All of those sections are yours, thank you!

I just happened to notice on a projects listing that this "Volume 9" project appears accidentally listed as "Solo" instead of "Collaborative" (like the previous volumes) -- if that should be corrected to encourage more volunteers...
