Re: WWP Date Problem

Sorry Art but we can't. The rules are fairly clear, and bending them
at least requires our approval prior to the attempt. Unfortunately
we wouldn't bend the rules that far even with a request (a month),
because the point of the WWP events really is the dates more than the
theme. The theme gives us something interesting to accomplish every
time and keeps us interested, but the dates are what gives the
project its coherence.
You do have a great panorama and an exceptional caption that explains
it all, but this is something you'll have to host on your own site.
