Finally got round to having a good look at Delicious. Found the Fox Talbot letters project:
http://www.foxtalbot.dmu.ac.uk/
In its section on 'Project methodology' it says
"Some elements of the approach to the work of another of Talbot's contemporaries, that of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin (Cambridge University Press), have been adopted. However, this excellent work follows conventions established for literary manuscripts that are unnecessarily complex for the Talbot letters."
From a quick investigation, it doesn't seem as if CD gets even a passing reference in Fox Talbot's correspondence, nor Fox Talbot in CD's (just a reference in a footnote about daguerrotypes).
And a site selling CD on the Beagle t-shirts

Delicious is tempting, but I haven't signed up for an account yet: having to create an account with Yahoo! has put me off for the time being. More accounts, more passwords: I need to think this over.
