Allotment I would still like to make books redolent of red and black smoky coffee houses and places I never really knew, instead mine will be be green and grey and blue and black. And as my coffee house is pretty much right here, fwiw, it would be nicer to do this book in some form of a group.
Sol, your wiki is incredible! ((If I wasn't hauling rent rocks and street pixels, I'd have had some peace of mind to say it earlier, but I'm still and ever thrown by what needs to be done just to live, let alone move)). I don't know how you put it together in less than a day, 24/04/02, but you maybe even threw it together in a sudden hour, with extra little bits of time to get it better. Wabi Sabi "In addition to being quick, this site also aspires to Zen ideals generally labeled WabiSabi. Zen finds beauty in the imperfect and ephemeral. When it comes down to it, that's all you need."<http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/flashcoders-wiki/index.php?WabiSabi> But you did and it's terrific, and stable and not really hard to use, except for a few technicalities. the Flash 6 plugin speed bump. Cw, Flash 6 will not work in wiki. (.) [.] {.} Publish into 5, it's just fine. I'm on a Mac (OS X) and the only browser I've been happy using to edit has been Opera, which is now my new favorite browser anyway. Explorer, Omnipage and Netscape all seemed to do a cache thing that was overly problematic. And upload didn't work at all with my Mac until Opera. http://www.opera.com group milieu > the idea's not complete, barely begun. I don't mean to say I'll do this or do that, particularly mailing or assembling tangible papor books, just that I'm inclined to do it if it will make everyone happy, or relieve you of doing it yourself. There are elements of self-motivation/gratification, but as they say, "Ambition for the work, not ambition for the career." There's the issue, if anyone's still here, of what to put in a book, and how to do it. We could write 49 different books, totally unrelated, or have one single topic and they'd all relate that way, same topic, different points of view. Or a few topics and then work either in groups or individually. We could develop and post summaries and then link to each other's work either physically or symbolically. So if I wrote about an imaginary carrot and you were illustrating a book about saints, you might include my carrot in your story, and vice versa, everyone linking to everyone else, in a limited way, based on our summaries posted to the swiki. http://fluxlist.swiki.net/ and then go to Exploration.
