Default Re: Ligthfoot NON-covers - Gord himself

jj - I admire and thank you, Char, and (?others?) for this effort. It is an intelligent partitioning to make.

A few thoughts:

-Forgive the observation w/o being integrally involved in any way in this effort myself, so an uninformed thought based on reading some posts back and forth only mildly suggests that you jj, Char, and others thoughtfully volunteering their time - such as you jj et al would benefit from a bottom-up approach to ideas mining (which appears to be allready done), subsequent refining, then up to you and Char coordinating the efforts of that which involves Florians additions/changes, after those changes, a top-down implementation starting with Char and/then you jj,delegation & implementation of filling -in, moving, categorizing, copying,linking outward/inward etc. to populate (there is a BIG task) the new partitions, but reading Char's Q/reminder on which/what forum sections to add, versus the much-appreciated efforts you are making jj (been wondering what kind of working sabbatical you were on - simply sounds like the coordination has only a couple of questions back and forth from you and Char, which considering the complexity level of what you guys are doing is remarkable.... - so if you are saying now "what is Steve trying to say ?" ..lol.. That would be"My compliments to a large amount of work allready done that all of us will benefit from, and I admire you2 and anyone else involved (Jesse Joe, Sir John et al ?) - this would seem right up their alley to help you guys on.


* and BTW ,the 'BURYING" WAS A GOOD IDEA - If I am reading the intent properly - very smart, Hogan

lastly
* I see a need for a coordinated effort in tags to have corfid pull-up more. If I read the level so far, and of course you guys could be way ahead of me on this, is to have a knowledgable person in search-engine practice speerhead an effort more 'enterprise-wide" (I allways hated that in meetings, its usually a showboat term to simply 'say' and baffle everyone into thinking you are whats up in IT - that I have heard guys say that couldn't find their server-multiplexer with a six-man search party lol) - but here in unconventional terms fits the bill IMO - take cordfid's maximum tags and other limitations coordinated so as the 'pull' to corfid is out there flagged in a way that will most effectively pull in prospective members, AND introduce people (a whole new generation) to The Man (harder now w/o the Tribute Vistories).

From my limited ability to see or know what is going on beyond simple thread-serving tags to pull in ppl to a given thread, we need a concerted effort to set-up entire-forum-wide tags to most effectively do this and remove any resources being guzzled by individual threads. I added a thread tags string today, in order to see what tomorrow's time slice in web server's will show when I search from info.com as my search engine of prefernce - as it invokes about the 6 most popular engines simulataneously, and coordinates the output. It is less subject to those damned 'sponsored' hyperlinks. At least they are ID'd as such.

But I'll see how easily I can pull ppl into Cordfid from the tags I slapped on Lyrics quizzers. I looked out at the forum w-ide level, and the 5 (?) total partitions we have now level, and didn't see any, sys-admin *only* level with Florian ? I slapped my forum name only to see if I could quickly pull from Myspace, where I use the same forum name. Facebook seems to be taking over as the "grown up professional" less cutesy mee-ism "Ilike to run on the beach and then have tacos ! he heh eheeh" - that I find rather cloying in Myspace anymore. There are still plenty of good people on it - many corfidites, and PeeWee Charles etc. , but when Microsoft embed hooks in to FaceBook and not MySpace - the writing is on the wall. Its co-op with Micrsoft or die, as I see it.

And every whrer you look in linked sites, Facebook is appearing as Avitar/Icon to auto-link the site with your facebook account. I know I am changing. The 'buying of friends and having others as pets' is way to sophomoric for me to enjoy. So al I am saying is to have a coordinated effort with whatever tags limitations we have - and are we soaking them allready at the individual thread level - a new but burgeoning practice in users threads. Mine is an experiment, then I'll communicate and coordinate as Char/Florian deem fit.

jj ans Char - thank you again for all you efforts we all benefit from
