DIY 'Extra' Pilling Diagrams.

Here in London, some of the members of the groups I dance with run an informal swap group (by e-mail) for 'Pillling' diagrams for extra dances that aren't in Pilling 8th Ed. The more ambitious of us use tools like MS Visio or CAD to draw the dances out, and the results look very like those in the little green book. (The less ambitious draw them by hand and trade photocopies). This got me thinking. There doesn't seem to be a web site for the Pilling book/committee anywhere. Does anyone know if there are any collections of 'extra' Pilling-style diagrams on the web? Would a web-site with Pilling 'extras' be helpful to others? Finally, is there any known process for extras to get suggested to the Pilling committee for possible inclusion in the Pilling 9th Ed (whenever that might be).

The Strathspey archives http://www.strathspey.org/list/strathspey/archive/msg/21853/ suggest that there was a time when Pilling's Successors weren't too friendly towards anyone else using his symbols. Does anyone know if this has changed since 2000 ? -- Andrew Aitchison Cambridge, UK
