We had the Domesday Project discs at school, and I did play around with it, but I can't remember ever finding it interesting. How sad. I'd like to have another look though!
http://www.domesday1986.com provides a little background, and explains why the BBC-hosted site has disappeared.
I remember the Domesday project, though I didn't contribute anything to it. I followed some of Michael Wood's tie-in series Domesday, and have the book somewhere.
In a more general way it makes me worry about the rush to digitise - we're just not good enough yet at migrating data as formats evolve, proprietary formats just complicate the issue further but I worry that there is a more general concern and we just don't really know how to curate data ATM.
