Hello,
This thread is to lend an example of my thoughts for an interactive bump group to be compiled into a main thread.
Notice the links go off to isolated issues, yet all are brought back to this main thread to show how they relate.
This lends many purposes.
1) it allows for a topic to be interactive with the FR search engine
2) it lends for easier research when looking up something specific
3) it shows a new comer an overview and lets them jump in while colder on the topic
4) the organization lends for quicker and easier referencing.
For matters on Judiciary
For matters on Hemlock
For matters on Greer Cases
Add on what ever else topics that needed covering.
See my thoughts now?
Sample of new bump thread.
fyi
Get out of my head. It was Backhoe's bump lists that gave me this idea!
:)
this is a sample not working yet.
Excellent! You are WAWWYYY smarter than I am!! Cool! What can I do to help?
You and Ohian, I think, would make perfect reviewer/pingers
1) you already have established ping lists with followers
-VALUABLE
2) you know the issues to date. You don't need overviews.
You can scan the recent posts and post to the main topic thread a line with a link and ping. You just need to scan, copy relevant thoughts, copy link and ping. Only people that have been following this can do that. Which is why I thought of you and Ohian. The researchers are the ones that have to do digging. Which means we won't be able to compile. That turns to you. thoughts?
Unless anyone else has another thought. I don't want to be dictating.
"Posts below this main and standing thread would be overviews of all the sub threads with hyperlinks back to their stand alone threads."
Calpernia, I heartily endorse this plan!!
I wonder how long Terri's fight will last.
Something new should be along before too long to distract the masses.
Bump to more of your hard work.
Hey, why is this in the SBR? :-\
Good idea :-)
ROFL. Terri's thread won't be in the SMokey Back room :))
I put it here so no one would get confused that it is the real thread. I had trouble explaining myself clearly in freep mail and posts about this idea and had to create a sample.
I didn't want anyone posting to this yet. We still have to do more organizing to get the real one up.
Please, post suggestions here for the real one :)
Okay, duh, I get it now, lol! good idea. very good way to do this.
I'm very interested in this as well.
Are you on Calpernia's ping list? (I think she has one....) It's very good to stay informed. Many of us keep posting things we find.
I did hear back from one of the team leaders today about our thread idea. They are emotionally a mess. I will copy you on the mail.
They were going to take a break to recoup; but Granny Mae coming up today....
I got some private freeps asking more about viaticals..
I'm going to get a thread up this weekend.
If I remember correctly, Fedora had some topic thread suggestions.
I had a few mods to make to them.
Maybe I will post my mods, then you all mod my mods.
Then I will get a thread up.
No I'm not. I would like to be. Sorry so late in getting back to you. My little girl was in the Special Olympics yesterday.
Ohh!! Okay! Thanks for starting this. :-)
You've also reminded me I *really* need to get hopping on replying to FReepmails. I have this really bad habit of letting it pile up.. (yeah, I'm weird that way.. :-)
