"...a calendar may begin with any month, i.e. Feb. 2004 - Jan. 2005..."
Adam, you of course meant 2005-2006. But I would suggest to consider DEC 2004 - DEC 2005 (13 months), with specially marked the black date, no matter when it would be issued.

It is certainly hard for anybody to think about practicalities in this connection, but I am missing here ideas about realisation of the final output of this project. I understand this calendar / book should be first of all a sort of memorial, but not least it should be a means to earn money for some victimised village/s or region/s.
I don’t understand anything in the marketing business, I have just one very partial idea: while "-Financial contributions are not necessary for this project" (adam) I think it should be a matter of honor of TE members to buy at least one copy and make some private marketing/advertisement within their society. I don’t challenge anybody, I just would like to know where it will be possible to order and buy it. I cannot offer neither pictures nor texts (weak English), so this is the only way I can take part. Somebody should also deal with organisational and legal side - is it possible to advertise, offer and/or sell anything (even on charity purpose) on the TE non-commercial site? Etc.
Thanks for thinking also about these questions.

"I understand the photos will have to be of the largest format (8MB)if i follow your pixel count?"

The size will depend on the quality the jpeg is saved at I believe.

"And will they be (resized) posted in a special folder on TE, as you receive them?"

They should be resized, sharpened etc. by the photographer. Then they may be sent to me or whoever the editor is. Then they will be sent to the design/layout editor for inclusion in the calendar. This is how I imagine it might work. First the photos to be included needs to be determined.

"you of course meant 2005-2006."

Right, thanks for pointing that out.

"I would suggest to consider DEC 2004 - DEC 2005 (13 months)"

That may be possible, but then at least 13 photos would be needed.

"with specially marked the black date, no matter when it would be issued."

Yes, that's a good idea that should be done I think.

"I just would like to know where it will be possible to order and buy it."

If it goes through, it would be available directly on the lulu.com site.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Réellement désolée de ne pas pouvoir courir au secour de tout c'est pauvre gens, qui ont tout perdu,je pense que le monde entier a été et est toujours fortement secoués des images d'horreurs, et d'angoisse,je dit bien TOUT LE MONDE, Je suis maman moi même et je vous assure que j'ai déjà bien pleurée devant toute ces personnes qui ont perdu des proches. Je pense que tout nos petites misères de tout les jours on peut gentillement les mettres sur le côté. En espérant que tout le monde pourra aider cet pays, même avec le peut qu'ils peuvent. Merci des pensées que vous avez tous pour eux.
C'est beaux l'élan de générosité, même si elles ne sont qu'en pensée.
