Hi Jim, Sorry, DP is a independent entity. They are affiliated with PG. Yes, they contribute to the cause and are mentioned by PG proper. DP does not define PG policies and vice versa. I have notice that there are those working in/with DP that would like to see it differently, and participate here try to enforce DP ways to be adopted here. I am not a lemming, that is i do just follow the one in front of me that is following …, blindly. As for the masses a friend of mine has a nice saying: "People millions of flies can not err, eat shit" Please do not get me wrong. DP is doing a tremendous job, or am i talking about the quality of work. I am just saying even though DP is the main contributor to PG it does not mean it is the best way. Like I have said many times, I do not care what DP thinks or does. My suggestions are aimed at PG. In how far PG excepts DP or says DP wins other lose is not my concern or for me to decide. Besides, since DPs work is so well documented it should not be hard to convert what ever the produce to the master format of PG. I see no necessity for PG to use the master format at DP. Nor do I see the necessity for DP to adopt PGs. regards Keith. Am 09.02.2012 um 18:15 schrieb Jim Adcock:
Where do I find the documentation to the agreed tags?
I thought this is PG. A PG list and want to improve PG.
When PG accepts DP submissions then DP submitters become part of the PG community. You don't want to accept this notion because you don't want to have to actually do the work -- namely the work of convincing the entire community of submitters to change directions to your whim -- not making any claims about whether those whims are good or not.
If there is to be any agreement about "change" at PG that agreement in practice needs to include ALL people who submit in practice to PG, NOT just the independent submitter. DP also recognizes the need for change. It's just that they are well aware in practice of what it actually takes to make a book, and thus are not likely to be impressed by suggestions that don't actually make a real contribution towards improving the situation.
