The problem is that some post have disappeared. For example my conversation with hal Finney in the "KNIGHT, KNAVES and ..." thread. An old post by Schmidhuber has disappeared and has come back, etc. Change of archive management changes the adresses of the posts (just look at the evrything-list links in my web pages for an example). So if you refer to post in the archive, you will have to keep the changes in such situation. So I would recommend BOTH type of references. It is fair with some among us who have do the needed work to publish.

For collective multipartite work I prefer a mailing list where (normally) you can keep track of the evolution of the work. Now a wiki on the acronyms, and on the view of the participant, could really help, but not with the risk of making life harder, by making incorrect references for example, for those who are professional (which have to justify originality for getting their bread and stuff like that etc.). Sometimes my boss is tired of seeing me explaining all my work before submitting. He insists there are some personal copyright issues I should be more serious about. Actually I disagree because I have already published my main work (albeit not always in big journal), and about what follows my phd work, well it helps me to listen to people comments, sure, but the list find it hard, I guess because it supposes a good understanding of what has been already done, so I don't worry too much (benefices are greater than the danger to be copied). Most people on this list are quite honest, but this has not always been the case. > Although I do not know how long the images are saved. You see ... Perhaps a stable Everything list FAQ would be more relevant (than an unstable wiki). May I suggest you to take a look on Michael Clive Price "Everett FAQ" which is very good. The articles of an everything-list FAQ would have to discussed before on the list, I think. And if and when we agree, then it would have to be stabilized (or have explicit new editions, with a saving of the old versions). If not the wiki will be just another mailing list and it will dubble our efforts, and it will make unclear all the processing. OK?
