[p2p-research] p2presearch Digest, Vol 19, Issue 153

I like the idea of tagging the subject line.
 
I also like the idea of themes. Yesterday Ryan has suggested some possible themes:
 
"I am starting to think three fundamental P2P Foundation Projects are in order... 1. A discussion on the nature of value.  2. A discussion on the relationship of property to value.  3. A discussion on the relationship of money to value and property.  All of these are basic modern social ideas.   Breaking with those social ideas leads rapidly to nonsense in trying to interact with a modern world. "

I would add a forth theme: 4. the relationship of value and labour.

It should be easy to translate the themes into tags, e.g. for theme nr 1 the tag would only be 'value', for theme nr 2 two tags, 'value' and 'property', etc.
 
Andreas

you can tag the subject line with standardized words e.g.*Money*, *General* etc, that we agree to as a group (and can be added it, amended) so that people can setup filters (e.g. in gmail) to filter in/out messages with specific tags

	I've already written about how to make mailing list conversation more
	efficient in another reply. With respect to this, I strongly advice
	against forums. It is much more efficient and faster to have all
	mailing lists in ONE window where you can always, immediately reply
	with YOUR, always equal, preferred interface and settings than setting
	signature, etc... in the same number of forums and surfing to them to
	reply. Not to mention the fact that you can reply to an email and send
	it the next time you're online, while you can't reply offline to a
	forum, posting the same message to more places (if really necessary)
	or to more people is much slower with forums...
	
	Besides the general problems of forums, this particular list is
	"doomed" by its very nature to host lots of different topics,
	sometimes interrelated sometimes not. To organize discussions it may
	be enough to enforce adoption of proper subject lines, so people just
	avoid to open the threads they have no interest in.
