Posting Suggested Rev Features (was Re: The paradigm of containers....)

[Mikey]

In regards to the Wiki, discussion board, and newsgroup suggestions,
none of them are bad ideas but were ruled out because of the
following:

1) With Blogger we can have members who can post to the blog, just
like with the other options but
2) Blogger enables me (and other admins to be apointed) greater
editorial control.  That is NOT to say that posts will be edited
(well, they probably will be a little), but presentation, ordering,
appearance, etc. options are easier to address in Blogger than with
any other tool I've tried.
3) Email linking - It's easy to cite the blog in posts to this list,
and regardless of what we may do to reformat, reorganize, etc. posts,
the links won't break.
4) Google searches built in
5) Despite all of the control and extra power, posting can still be
accomplished by members by sending emails to the blog.

So we have all the advantages of the other options, with tighter
control.  I like that.  Who knows, maybe this will take on a life of
its own and ultimately morph into something else.  I'm not opposed to
moving it as it grows.  First thing, though, is for me to recruit more
people to hop in and help out.  It isn't designed to be my personal
feifdom.  It's designed to be another community effort to record
knowledge that isn't otherwise available to the community at large.
