Morning Everyone, I fully agree with some comments about how much material is being thrown around here, and how difficult it can be for someone on the Digest version (or anyone with limited time available) to either follow this closely or make much sense out of it. I follow the conversation via the archives, and tend to react as quickly as I can to postings as they come in. I apologize if this causes concerns or problems - I shall try to slow my "pace of change" if I can, to give you a chance to keep up and make the contributions which I want you to feel free to make. This is NOT a one man show, everyone here has the opportunity to help and contribute. As I said last night, someone has to be in charge, but I'm not trying to play "Little Lord Fauntleroy" or "King James". Let's ALL relax a bit, this should be fun. Right now, I'm working on a "mock up" of some material which we can place on the web. I am not intending it as anything carved in stone, just something to focus on and work with as we go through the rest of this process. I think that if we have something that we can focus on while we discuss the issues it should help keep us on track. Once I get a preliminary version ready, I'll upload it and pass on the URL. The potential list of "core values" which I posted yesterday is only a rough draft - feel free to make suggestions for other things you think we should keep front and center while we proceed. Or to make changes to what I have suggested. It shouldn't take much time to get through this as we are almost all in total agreement (I think) and should only need minor tweaks before we are ready to move on to other things.
