Material compiled from OSLIST archives as a paper

[Lisa Heft]

Hello all -
 
I've renamed this thread so it's more particular.  Ashley invited us to:
< .dive into the archives of this list and weave together some of the
amazing insights that arise. post what you write to the oslist with a
tag in the subject line, requesting that your message be cross-posted to
the weblog.>


I recommend this 'archive diving' as a great way to compile great
thoughts in papers that we can share and use.
 
I have several papers I have created in this way, as some of you have
seen. 
 
It would be great to add them to the weblog.  I have some questions,
though.  So Part 1 is: I will ask my questions here so all of us
learners can learn more.  Part 2 is I will make a separate message for
each article I am talking about to show you, dear readers, these papers.
That way, 1) people who do not surf the weblog can surf the archives and
find these papers, 2) people who don't do either can just visit my
website, and 3) Ashley we can talk about if you need a Word file or how
else I might contribute them for your team's posting on the weblog.
 
So here are my questions (so far) ;o)
 
1
Ashley, if we have these papers existing, can we send (for example) a
Word document to you or someone else for posting on the weblog?
 
These are long papers - I'm not sure if it would be useful or a burden
to place such long papers as an OSLIST message.  And for people who
receive the digest version of OSLIST, I would think it might be even
lengthier.
 
2
And would the lengthiness work on a weblog?  
 
3
Would the sourcing? (each quote has some info after it referring to the
person who said it) 
Would the layout? (does everything - text and source info) roll out on a
narrow width and make for a long long scolling down for an article?  
 
4
Can someone look up this info on the weblog with some sort of key word
search, or is the title listed on the weblog just in order of receipt,
or ?
 
As you can see, I'm not used to weblogs.yet.and some of it may be like
the wiki was but some seems to be different, so thanks for the info, and
thank you for teaching me and us all, Ashley, Michael, Ted and others.
Thank you, little oslist weblog team, for working behind the scenes and
inviting the creation of more resources.
 
Lisa
