I'm definately with Rene on this. A page by page approach is best. We talk
enough rubbish on list anyway. The main assumptions about each page would be
more useful. I.E. the discussion about degrees on f67r2. These strands tend
to get lost.

General theories I would omit. Only assumptions that have gained a consensus
should be included. Links to sites of interest could always be included.

One other thing I would also suggest is the opportunity for like minded
people to have some sort of forum. Each person approaches the vms from a
different angle. Some of these approaches intersect. A method of not only
sharing this information with the group but also sorting it into subject
areas would allow those of like mind to not only keep up with the general
chatter but also develop a strand of their own.

Who knows, with an organised approach we might actually make some more
progress. I already feel as though a lot of new ideas are bearing a little
fruit.
