I can do it. I've done a lot of thinking about that over the past ten years or so. Also, I was hoping to have a functional prototype of the antho website done by then (sans graphics) -- I sketched out an IA* a couple of weeks ago but haven't had time to do anything with it yet.
Re. [1]: Everybody's got opinions. Two things are endlessly fascinating for me about how this kind of stuff plays out on the web: a: The bar for success can be much lower, inherently, if you manage your costs well. b: Because cost can be low, the *criteria* for success can shift around such that money becomes much less important. One of the upshots of this is that it's often extremely difficult not only to predict success, but to define it. Re. [2]: That presumes we should *have* a model. My take on that, at least right now (and forgetting about the anthology for the moment) is that we [sh]/[c]ould take the approach of giving aid and comfort** to members who are doing their own interesting things. Keep R-SPEC out of it administratively. But I admit, it would be nice to take part in defining something.*** __ *Information Architecture, and it's in my other notebook. **(which aid need not be monetary and comfort need not be extreme) ***Can you tell I've been reading a lot of David Foster Wallace, lately?
