Writing

[archived...]

There seems to an agreement that I should orchestrate the writing of the paper, but in a way that's relatively non-hierarchical, and includes different voices, fragments and the character of our discussions. If possible.

Whether this involves stages of drafting and a series of emails, attachments and tracked changes (which with so many authors, may be overly complicated), or setting up a wiki (which could be simpler and more collaboratively edited), is something to think about.

The wiki idea is new to me, as was blogging at the start of the summer. So, thanks for the suggestion Lisa. I'm happy to go with this as another experiment.

When the dust settles, I'll code, cut and paste, and top and tail a rough document for us to start with, and maybe circulate it 'normally' and try a wiki so we can get this done one way and another.

Thanks for your support with this continuing experiment!
