1415.0. "keyword help needed" by MSCSSE::BERENS (Alan Berens) Tue Dec 26 1989 15:42

Adding the appropriate keyword(s) to the some 1400 existing basenotes in 
SAILING will be a bit of a chore, so I would like to offer everyone the
chance to participate in this exciting and worthwhile activity (er, yes, I
did read Tom Sawyer when I was much younger, why do you ask?). If each
volunteer does a block of 50 or 100 notes, the job will get done much
sooner than if I muddle through it alone. 

Note 3.1 lists the current keywords and the remaining replies to Note 3 
indicate what the final result will be like. So, volunteers, choose a block 
of notes (indicate your choice in a reply to this note) and have at it. The 
command ADD KEYWORD keyword note_number will do the deed. Thanks for all 
the help.

1415.1no keyword list in 3.lastMSCSSE::BERENSAlan BerensThu Dec 28 1989 08:513
re .0:

The last reply to Note 3 lists the base notes that have no keywords.
1415.2ICEBOATSCSSE32::BLAISDELLThu Dec 28 1989 11:0810
As an alternate or additional strategy, I suggest choosing keywords. Acting on
my suggestion, topics 406, 700, 1049, 1110, and 1060 now all have ICEBOATS as
a keyword. 

I needed to find an old iceboating note, which took a while by
DIR/TITLE=ICE,DN,etc. Rather than waste the information and to make it easier
to find iceboating info in the future, I added the ICEBOATS keyword to all
related topics that I found.

1415.3not a good idea?MSCSSE::BERENSAlan BerensThu Dec 28 1989 11:358
re .2:

The problem with what you suggest is that it requires reviewing EVERY base 
note (and all the replies) to determine if the chosen keyword is
appropriate. Extremely time-consuming and exactly what I was hoping to
avoid. Keywords aren't likely to be added unless several people are each
willing to spend a little time on the project (by each doing a small block 
of notes).

    Alan,
    
    Yesterday I entered SAILING for the first time in a while, read
    your first few notes,...and proceeded to access some base note #'s
    on Anchoring that I had written down months ago using 
    DIR/KEYWORD=ANCHORING. 
    
    After reading base note 3.2 and not seeing all the anchoring notes 
    listed,....I proceeded to add the appropriate keyword "Anchoring" 
    to notes: 69,146,532, & 607. All these base notes and replys, in my 
    opinion, could be linked with no other keyword presently available.

re .3

I agree and now better understand the request for volunteers to add keywords
to a block of notes. I'm happy to help and I'll try to do some over the
weekend. 

On the other hand, I think what I did is also helpful. If I create a topic and
miss a keyword that another noter thinks would be helpful, I encourage them to
add it.
