[FRIAM] Document management

[Arlo Barnes]

We have talked a little on this list about related topics, but I figured I
would ask people's opinions outright.

I have about 3 cubic meters of assorted paper documents -- and by assorted
I mean both unsorted into categories, but also of various types.
For example, there are papers that are unimportant that should be set aside
for disposal. There are papers of mild interest that should be kept if
possible (in a digital form, as their physical presence has no value beyond
the contained information, and negative value in space taken up and mental
clutter added). There are documents that should be digitized, but cannot be
disposed of as their physical form is important to their existence
(certificates for instance). Some of the information in the documents is
sensitive, and since it is mixed in, the whole pile should be treated as
such (although there is not nothing that could not be shown to a
well-trusted entity). And the papers are not all of the same size or stock;
some of them are loose, some pamphlets, brochures, or even slim books.

Once they are digitized they will also need to be semanticized and related
to one another to start to make sense of it.
So, how should I go about this? Would mechanisation of some form help? Can
this even reasonably be done by one person?

I don't think I need a book to see how day-to-day weather in santa fe isn't
normal. April-august is usually pleasently warm not snowing.
California is a tropical, and averaging 80-100 degree weather isn't all
that normal either. My companion in LA was telling me it was about 100
there last friday and her kids had to be inside to avoid being to hot.

With all due respect to people but I'm pretty sure my air quality doesn't
particularly care if dudes in charge wear blue, purple or red underpants.
The question should not be if to do something about this, but how? Surely
they want air they can breath and water they can drink. I should hope they
want to have some assurance winters will be--well winters and summer
comfortably beutiful.

Have a look at the book: Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet. It was
written nine years ago, but the concern remains the same. I think that
Paris agreements at Cop 21 were important but It showed that the political
reaction to a real problem is extremely low and in fact implied  a
resignation and a cynic position to avoid real and urgent changes.  But
don't worry, if the guy of the toupee becomes President, Global Warming
will become just a lie by decree. (BTW: si no se entiende el mensaje lo
