Enlist!

We welcome participation in the Doughboy Center. If you would like to write one of the article marked with {V} please contact us. We also welcome articles that we haven't thought of, but which would enlighten our readers about the effort of the AEF. The biggest logjam we are currently facing is with the conversion of typed manuscripts to computer files. Please contact us if you would like to help with this. A number of features are of the open {O} category. This means we are actively seeking additions for these features even after they are on-line.
