Hi,
I'm new here. I'm not with EH or any other way involved in the project, but I do know some people and have it on good authority that this is *not* the end of the updates - it really is technical difficulties. They will have it up within the next day or so, and updates after that should be more regular. They've also taken on board the criticisms, and apparently future updates will be more detailed with more pictures and so forth. I don't know about the Ask The Experts thing, but I'll...ahem...ask.

Hi Matt. Thanks for your post, and I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping you'll stick around and post more.

No criticism of you personally but some of us can't help wondering what these 'technical difficulties' are. Technical difficulties at Silbury or technical difficulties with English Heritage's website? If it's the latter that really is very, very unprofessional. Don't English Heritage have people onboard able to set up and run what is, after all, a pretty basic website?

Many of us here have our own websites and blogs and manage (in many cases without a lot of computer training) to maintain those site and blogs. If English Heritage can't do the same it really is further damming evidence of their ineptitude.

Not directed at you personally, but I hope you'll see why so many of us here, and elsewhere, are so frustrated and angry with English Heritage's cack-handed performance so far.

Once again, many thanks for your post.

Hi Matt,

Welcome to TMA. Fill yer boots, pal! Any info you can get will be welcome. As you can see, this subject matters to a lot of us, and our frustration is directly attributable to the lack of transparency and clarity from EH, and their seeming indifference to the whole time capsule nonsense. We'd love for someone from officialdom to raise their head above the parapet and sign in on here.


Peace

Pilgrim
