Re: DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

This is basically what I intended for Reportor, with different flair. I don't like the requests thing. The point is to create an easy reference point for people to use for research in the future, not to do other people's research for them. Otherwise, I'd generally support this. On Wed, Apr 19,

Re: DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

Well, I am not sure that we need the Archivist to be writing about history because that is one of the reasons which you could receive a degree for. Publius Scribonius Scholasticus On Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 2:35 AM, Quazie wrote: > That's a great name - and monthly was

Re: DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

That's a great name - and monthly was a time frame I was looking at - I might make it a switch actually that can be flipped without some objection - if we get into an active period again it might be nice to easily switch the type of reporting on a newspaper. On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 23:33 Aris

Re: DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

How about Archivist? Also, may I suggest that newspaper, if it is kept, should be made monthly? -Aris On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 11:25 PM Quazie wrote: > I was going to suggest that there be a new position of journalist or > librarian or Local Blogger or something that

Re: DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

I was going to suggest that there be a new position of journalist or librarian or Local Blogger or something that combines the two ideas in a reasonable way - be a resource of information and possibly do some general summarizing of events with less obligation than is on the reporter - will the

Re: DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

I disagree. It seems perfectly reasonable to ask the reporter to link to resources, but requiring them to do research on request seems unnecessary. It doesn't fit well with my conception of the reporter's job description anyway. -Aris On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 11:17 PM Quazie

That's super reasonable - next draft will combine the two. On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 23:11 Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > > On Wed, 19 Apr 2017, Quazie wrote: > > [...] The Research Assistant [...] > > I think this should replace or be merged/combined with the very > inactive

Re: DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

A Research Request is defined as a request for information about the history of Agora. Once per month, each player MAY submit a Research Request from the Research Assistant. The Research Assistant SHALL put a reasonable effort into completing each Research Request, and SHOULD complete it in a

Re: DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

I would support this with an added provision that the Research Assistant shall be required to respond to research inquiries in a reasonable amount of time. Publius Scribonius Scholasticus On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 8:14 PM, Quazie wrote: > This directly comes from G,'s

Re: DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

This directly comes from G,'s linking to old CFJ archives - caselaw and archived materials should be easily accessible to all agorans without too much of a hunt. On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 5:13 PM Quazie wrote: > The Research Assistant is an office; its holder is responsible

DIS: Proto-Research-Assistant

The Research Assistant is an office; its holder is responsible for helping interested persons and players research agora. The Research Assistant's Monthly Report SHALL include research materials as noted: - A link to the FLR and SLR - A link to old CFJs both Old and Very Old - Other
