Getting Mailing List Archives Right
[mailing archive url header lack --> lack of
referencing --> lack of community continuity.]
[(Tools cause culture: cf version control for congress)]
[emacs bug tracking: lack of bug tracker meant that mailing list
threads became the default bug database; but lack of convenient
archive pointers made that horribly inconvenient. Now my inbox, which
had been action items for me, became a database of anything I was
interested in.]
Locks as Speech
['svn locking' as a communications tool: the principle here is
that it combines its communications function with some other
task-related function.]
Wikipedia Faces the Music
[grok your team: difference between subversion developers vs
civilians, for example, the latter won't even use a wiki. thus,
consider how filtered the "wikipedia team" must actually be.]
Threads
[the thread as the fundamental form of information]
The Past and Future of Summarization
[the lkml tragedy; summarydesk and what it was designed to do]
[hybrid approaches still unexplored (analogy to vehicles?)]
