First of all, thank you very much for the JFM initiative! It is a great improvement in accessibility to mathematical literature. Please find below four comments/suggestions in the spirit of improving something very good...

ERAM was very useful to me, as I don't think I
could have gotten reasonable access to the Jahrbuch otherwise.
...and thanks again for a great research tool.

First of all congratulations for the Jahrbuch project !
I find that this will be an extremely useful resource.
I am chair of the library committee here at UCLA and
I was wondering if you plan to make available CD_ROMs
with the Jahrbuch data. We will certainly be interested
in purchasing them.
Also, I personally believe that all mathematical material
should be scanned, not just what is consider today the
most important material. This changes over time...

I am very impressed
with both the idea and the execution of your project, so if my
abilities might be useful I'd be happy to try and help...

But first I would like to thank you for this fantastic facility. I had
been
hankering after the Jahrbuch for a long time and did not know of this
web project
until I met Dr. Keith Davis last fall. Now I am telling everybody about
it and this
is one comment I got from my colleague (historian) Tom Hawkins at Boston
University:
"Thanks for the info about web access to the jahrbuch, Emma. It was news
to
me. The web is indeed amazing. In fact I wanted to read Stickelbergers
Berlin dissertation (ca 1874), which no library around here has, and
what
to my wondering eyes should appear ... but a viewable (and copyable)
copy
of the dissertation, courtesy of one of the
Göttingen libraries!"
(Emma Previato (Boston University, Boston, US))
