 Can you point me to latest drafts of infraction reforms and also your 
 contract reforms (hierarchy of types of enforceable contracts IIRC)?  
 Happy to take a round as a coauthor for next drafts but I wasn't 
 following earlier discussions fully...

The contract reforms are at
http://www.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-discussion/2008-November/022001.html
I think probably it needs to be simplified before being enacted,
though; I was trying to be 100% compatible with existing practice,
but maybe that isn't necessary.

The infraction stuff is at
http://www.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-discussion/2008-September/019405.html
and I think it's more or less finished, like any proto, it could
probably do with improvement, though. (Maybe simplify by
removing all non-Rest punishments?)

Thanks, I can see some good places to combine ideas.  In particular, I
have no problem personally weakening equity even more than you did (there's
a better way to run contests than equity, partnerships shouldn't be equity,
which leaves generic private contracts as the only domain... and those
have had (historically) many fewer complaints).

Ah, that's right.  I have to admit I'm not crazy about the rest terminology 
at all; probably because I never liked notes and would prefer something 
independent for the day notes go away.  If you're not proposing this soon 
my version would probably look different though be functionally very
similar.

Actually, I take that back: I don't mind the Rest terminology, but I think
the criminal system overall needs more reform than you've given it to truly 
work summary breaches into the system.  I think all rules violations should
be assumed to be reportable summary breaches, and the criminal courts only
invoked when a type of breach is specifically designated as a Crime.  
Anyway, will work on it.
