Errata

Many of the January 2014 reports include assumptions or errors:

• The project is not new
• Stephen Fry is not the first contributor
• The BBC already have their programmes well archived
• Ten seconds of audio is an approximate minimum, not maximum.
• The project isn't just for "celebrities", but anyone who is the subject of a Wikipedia article.
