As I believe I have said, I view the publications of indexes in book form 
to be a bit antiquated.  I believe these should be computerized (at 
least), and online and regularly updated (at best).  I don't think that 
the index file recently posted compares in scope and usefulness to the 
index that John Baird is keeping up-to-date.  The Board has been well 
aware that the Journal CD-ROM is likely to contain the donated index.  
But the CD-ROM project is in the future and the Boone index is available 
now and IMHO deserves support.
