Analysis: inside out?
« on: February 08, 2006, 07:01:30 pm »
Right now, I'm attempting to write articles and then do a complete audit of all the forums pertaining to a topic. But I've realized that this can lead to missing certain discussions not ostensibly referenced in the topic title. It also means the articles are prone to rewrites as I go through.

Should we do it inside out? That is, go through every topic and summarize it as if it were to appear in an article, and wrap discusson on everything? Then article makiing would be a pure matter of presentation, and there would be no question of omission. I might also be able to build the theory pages on the Wiki from the ground up.

If we opted for this, I would go through every topic on a certain day. That way, we would know after the articles are complete if a topic whose last reply predates the big effort has any new content to examine if we ever revise things.

I think the best way is to go how he ware right now wtih the Time article. Just let everyone bring thier suggestions to the table and then come to some osrt of a conclusive statement. It would be so troublesome and maticulous to go through each thread searching for anything about a certain subject.

What you're doing right now seems good. Bringing up topics for discussion, having us look through and maybe add some more to them until an agreed opinion/theory is discovered, then "wrap" it and bring in the next one.
