I can't wait to read more yummy information!
Things to write about:
- alt.pave.the.earth
- alt.warlords
- alt.chrome.the.moon
- alt.sex.fetish.star.trek
- once burned, twice shy
- unicom
- the last unicorn vs. the last unicom
- tallyho - and it's use in aviation
- cheap tricks parents try to get away with (cake story)
- Tools for noders:
- A graphical tree browser/viewer Java (& XML?) based.
- Let people attach brief reasons to votes - seen only by author
- Let people propose new names for nodes - to save good writeups which had been poorly named.
- Let authors change node names?
- In general - some better automated feedback will make editors less necessary
- Ideally multiple e2 (or e2 like) based nodes should be able to auto interconnect. This would allow an explosion of growth, much like the birth of HTTP.
- Some way to let these interconnecting nodes create policies on the type of articles they can contain. ex: if someone wants to a attach a funny note to a coding node on a coding site, could the note be instead redirected to some other more appropriate server?
- This new Java based everything3 could build a database dynamically. Any time a user submits a new query it could in turn query the legacy everything2 and snarf the entry. This would make it easy to convince people to switch.
- What about the idea of pull or push driven gateways to netnews or HTML search engines? Some way to merge the three different worlds of nodes, news, and HTML servers.
