Sounds promising - as long as they don't follow the route of NSW BDMs - six months and there are still long delays in getting a certificate and the cost is extortionate - six weeks for an email and no immediate downloads. Victorian is much much better with lower costs and immediate download of an image.

I won't hold my breath. I remember the debacle about Magpie.

And DOVE and EAGLE.
It has been a very long road. Wonderful if they get this right, finally, but I cannot imagine it will be any time soon.

No, I'm not holding my breath either, wonderful though this idea is.
I understood from the abandoned DOVE project that the technology was not up to it. Has that changed now and who will pay for these millions of records to go online? OC |

I imagine (sorry, haven't waded through the text) that:
This would seem ripe for Ancestry or FMP to snap up. What probably will go by the wayside is the improved, from scratch, indexing. But you never know.

Well, half a loaf is always better than none and I for one would be very happy with certs before 1915 (say). However, my certificate collection is virtually complete now but quite a few of those were bought when certs were only £3 anyway.
