i offered, many months ago, to shepard a system that would provide a wiki for every e-text, which would contain all the info about that e-text (in a part of the wiki that was "locked") such as its change-log, and also allow users to write summaries and comments, make error-reports, and hold discussions. nobody provided the disk-space i would've needed to make it work. steve sakoman built a system of his own to do something similar. nobody provided him with the support he needed to make it work. now it appears that the gutvol-d merry-go-round has once again come to this spot as it runs around in circles. at this time, though, i'm heading out of here, because nothing seems to get done here, other than throwing more and more inconsistent e-texts on the pile. (and i might, suggest, humbly, that a pause in _that_ machinery to rethink and plan might be a very good idea at this point in time.) all the good suggestions being made now have been made before, but the process for implementing them seems to be badly broken. if you want to fix _anything_, you will need to fix _that_ first... a wiki for each e-text is still a good idea, but someone else will have to step up and take responsibility for it. -bowerbird
