We are looking for the following forms of assistance:

• We need help in putting together a database engine for this web site. We want to allow searches of our setlist database with various cross-references so that visitors could search for all Dark Stars played on a Thursday in California that are rated better than average (or whatever). Any suggestions for canned database engines, or assistance in developing one would be most welcome.
  
  
• Reviews - we hope to have published commentary on a thousand Dead concerts in our various editions. If you would like to contribute your recollections on a live experience, or comments and opinion on a tape not yet covered, please contact John. For our next edition, DeadBase XI, we hope to cover every show in 1977 and 1987 with live reviews.
  
  
• Photographs
  
  
• Research - for those of you with access to news archives (library microfilm, etc.), old newspaper articles on, and advertisements for the Dead are or great interest to us.
  
  
• Ticket Stubs - if you have old or interesting Dead ticket stubs, we would love to see them. If you can't bear to part with or loan the actual stub, a clean scan, photocopy, or photograph will do.
  
  
• Technical Assistance - There are countless aspects to producing DeadBase: programming, layout, scanning, editorial, anylitical, statistical, surveys. Our venture into the world of the web opens up many new issues. I feel much more a Jack of all trades than a Renaissance man and welcome constructive assistance wherever appropriate.
  
  
• Ettiquette - we need suggestions for our taping ettiquette page
