| Since a good many of the newer notes are still quite active, is
it possible to archive , say, the first 5-600 notes and keep the
rest ? Not familiar with the procedures personally.
|
| 698.2 | yes, but... | LEZAH::BOBBITT | Once upon a time... | Tue Feb 02 1988 14:13 | 6 |
| I would not mind if it were archived, but I hope it is left available
in read-only mode so that people who are just joining us can learn
from it as we have.

| Perhaps you should consider waiting till May when the 3 month trial
will be over. Then the results could be the basis of the next file.

| 698.4 | I agree. Archive in May. | VAXRT::CANNOY | Let's snark out tonight | Tue Feb 02 1988 14:35 | 26 |
| I think this is an excellent idea. I like Les's suggestion of waiting
until the experiment is over and then restarting. I hope that this one
will simply be write locked and a new version started. I'd also suggest
that one of the first notes contain the complete directory of this
conference. For example 2.1 could contain the directory 1-last and 2.2
contains the directory last-1. I have found this to be very helpful in
other files.
The main thing I like about this idea is that the focus
could/maybe_ought_to change.
I would put forth as an idea to be explored that the moderators
look into contacting Barbara Walker in the Valuing Differences dept.
of Personnel. I would suggest that this conference become a *real*
Valuing Differences conference. Currently is is simply another employee
interest conference and has no official status. I feel if we get
participation/approval/whatever from Personnel, as other conferences
have, that there would be a stronger focus and purpose to Womannotes.
This doesn't mean it will be a members-only conference, quite the
contrary. I simply think that with a more clearly defined charter
that has received some sort of official approval and sanction, that
a lot of the hotly contested topics of discussion on process will
not be necessary.

| We are exploring the possibility of working more closely with the
corporate Valuing Differences staff at this time.

| Maybe it's a reference to Papal Bulls ? As in 'keep the church out
of this !' only substitute Personnel for church ? Do we want this
conference run by Personnel ? A little bureaucracy goes a long way.

| 698.10 | Allow an orderly transition | AQUA::WAGMAN | QQSV | Wed Feb 03 1988 20:38 | 7 |
| One thought: if (when) you move to a new file, you might want to have a
period during which it was permissible to reply to old notes in this file,
but not permissible to start new notes. This would allow current discussions
to continue to completion without requiring a lot of (incovenient) cross
referencing between the two versions.

| Another alternative which was used by the ALL-IN-1 v. 2 conference
when it got enormous was to take the notes which were active and
transplant them to the new conference, and leave the full 'old'
conference open for reading.
Any thoughts on that?
|
| 698.12 | Good idea Holly. | BUFFER::LEEDBERG | An Ancient Multi-hued Dragon | Thu Feb 04 1988 11:13 | 11 |
|
That is the best idea yet offered. As long as it is a simple
process I would like to see the current active notes carried
over to the new file.

| 698.13 | Keywording | GCANYN::TATISTCHEFF | Lee T | Thu Feb 04 1988 12:10 | 5 |
| I would suggest extensive keywording of the archived topics, with
a reccommendation in the welcoming to use the keywords to find the
appropriate/important/funny/etc, er, strings :)

| 698.14 | | CADSE::GLIDEWELL | Peel me a grape, Tarzan | Fri Feb 12 1988 00:16 | 21 |
| My first brainstorm: archive everything from the beginning of
time, which we all know as Note 1.0 on 4/18/86 (thank you, Maggie
Tarbet) up to the start of 1987 -- but that's note 157! To make this
easy to see:
4/18/86 1
1/07/87 157
2/22/88 714 (that's 557 notes in 14 months)
So here's my current brainstorm:
o Archive 1 through 600 and allow it to be read only.
o Recreate the file by:
- Preserving notes of special interest to the community, such
as 1.*, intro from women, intro from men, and any others the
moderators want.
- Preserving 600 through N as the "living" portion of the file
(so the living file contains stuff like "see note 213" but
that's OK. Life is messy. We cn handle it).

| umm ... -.1
This could be an appropriate time to de-segregate the intro topics.
It's a small detail but, as I recall, the split was accidental to begin
with.
