Hello Stefan,
Yes, your suggestions are well taken; however, the complexities of setting
up and administering such a voluminous website of encyclopedic proportions seems
to be a rather daunting task, especially since the majority of the VMs
discussion and research appears to be performed on our "free time".
In addition, now that investigation of the VMs crosses many borders, how would
the information be made accessible to all?
Regards,
Dana Scott

Not just a little
more. Wiki has another advantages over a list or a bboard:
- you can
crossreference nodes (great advantage)
- you can refine knowledge (edit
pages)
- you have history of edits
- you can upload and comment images
and files
that is, that it is a place not only for storing and
collecting but also for
collaboratively evolving and refining! And THAT is
important.

Yes, it would be great to have such project, however as I have
mentioned: not
yet. It is not generaly clear what is the nature of
knowledge needed for
solving the VMs, neither everyone knows the structure
of the knowledge. First
we learn the nature and the knowledge in a generic
knowledge management place,
then we can start thinking about more complex
project... Thing is, that you can
start to do analysis of the complex
project, but it will not fit the reality
once it is deployed after certain
amount of development... trust me ;o)
I am not against more complex
solution, I only think that it has it's time. By
the way, there are just a
very few complex solutions (to any problem), if any
at all, that worked and
sustained without having any previous
simple
solutions...
