BoycottNovell Changes on Their Way, Doors Always Open

It is no secret that this site neglected to do a few things which could truly add to its credibility:
  1. Proofreading. Shane's posts are quite polished and contain almost no typos. In the year to come, I intend to ensure that I do more than one quick pass through the text. I will also rewrite text rather than type down my mind, which results in a single train of consciousness that is not always as clear and unambitious as it can be. I concentrate on pace, but that comes at the expense of quality sometimes (the same goes for other sites where I participate, the exception being academic papers and press articles).


  2. Scale. Longer items are to be expected, with the exception of posts whose title is preceded by "Quick Mention:".


  3. External references. We already include many external references. Cross citations point to items that are themselves pointing at reliable external references (plus context). In the year to come, expect larger heaps of supporting (external) references, which add intensity to our arguments and serve those who do research better than ourselves (it's a very time-consuming task).
The year is not over and this Web site is likely to be active over the holiday period. The FUD never takes breaks, unlike businesses. We have to keep our eyes open, even in the weekends (mind the comments).
