Re: rules in the blogosphere - higher definition and focus is gained when a "coalition of the willing" agree to certain basic principles.

At a bare minimum, someone has to be pulling together the contributions into a summary so that the whole remains in view.

E.g. what the issue, whether sub-issues and sub-sub-issues will be acceptable, and if so, what happens to the main issue, etc.

I'd be happy to join an event if there is anything relevant I can add on the topic.
