suggested ground rules

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Okay, I'm game. Since we're all going to get short sun at different=20
times, especially those of us outside the USA, lets keep all Short=20
Sun discussion in Whorl. It seems like the sensible place to keep it -
as Short Sun probably relies on some knowledge of Long Sun. It=20
also means that the list will be revived, as its fallen into disuse in=20
recent months.  Furthermore, lets use some kind of tagging of posts=20
so that those who have to wait for the paperback, or any kind of=20
local edition don't get spoilers.=20

As for the tagging, well I suggest [blue] in the header of all=20
messages pertaining to 'On Blue's Waters'. I was also going to=20
suggest that we try to put together some kind of chapter by chapter=20
discussion of the text, which makes possible tags like [blue chap1]=20
etc.

If we agree, perhaps Ranjit can put whatever we come up with in=20
the sig and on the website?

Comments anyone?
