The morning after my newsletter was circulated, the U.K. Times carried an article about the myriad of problems.The Times states that QinetiQ, the government-owned corporation that oversaw the project, was awarded £7 million for the contract to digitize the 1901 census. That works out to about $10 million U.S. dollars. Was this money spent wisely?
