Indeed, I honestly find the raw materials gathered in the Research Questions (as well as the ongoing hz09 tag in delicious) to be ultimately the most valuable part of the process; inevitably, in order to create a ‘unified’ picture that can be summed up in a printed report certain details are lost, smushed together, improved upon, etc. But all of the raw materials are there for anyone who cares to dig.

The tagging has gently lifted off; I pushed this in 2007, and tagged about 95% of the stuff, but now we have a lot more input. What I wish for (maybe Tony can do this in 5 minutes) is a tool that would tell me how many unique users used a given tag (a frequency distribution would be the cherry on top). The voting by emailing word docs will go away next year. I got behind, but am working on a web app for submitting votes online (I could not make Google Forms do this eloquently). The wiki is now read open, but I turned off the ability to automatically create accounts (you have to request access now). Last week, one solitary spammer in a certain Asian country managed to spam links into about 80 pages; looks like at one minute intervals, but they must have humany entered captchas. Am hoping for the truism as social software is stuff worth spamming ;-) Thanks Scott, it’s good to hear your findings.
