It should be noted that every issue, I update the Complete Article Listing
document at
http://www.freelancetraveller.com/magazine/ConsolidatedListing.pdf to
reflect the most recent issue. I used to include a subset of the document
in the final issue of the calendar year, covering the articles published in
the calendar year just concluded, but that fell by the wayside some years
back.
It wouldn't actually be impossible to generate a CSV file from the
document, and then keep both updated (or re-generate the document from the
updated CSV), and the CSV could be made downloadable so that it could be
sorted or searched according to any criteria the user wished.
The sixty-four dollar question (probably overvalued by two orders of
magnitude) is whether there is any other information I should include to
make it useful for tc.
