I can add some Seattle (and area) restaurants so count me in.

I think we need a spot for directions and/or a cross street. It could
easily be that we'll be on the road without easy access to a phone to
call the place and get directions.

I also think we need a spot for a revision date (when this entry was last
revised). Both of these suggestions could be put in the comments, but I
think they should be required to maintain uniformity throughout the list.

We need to figure out a uniformity to prices. I suggest a price range
(i.e. entrees from $x to $y, appetizers $x to $y).

This would be the person who made the entry, correct? These are our own
reviews, and not pulled out of a magazine (or at least they should be I
think).

We also probably need a page explaining the list.

How about a central "editor"

I vote for uuencoded e-mail (not zipped). I don't know how AOL handles
that though, anyone?

I don't think there's an easy way just to copy and paste. We may have to
export to ASCII, combine everything and then export it out again...
