This is for those interested in discussing a file system for the Duke rape hoax.
Another keyword such as dlxtimeline could be designated for the thread which has the timeline information stored.
bump
I would suggest putting all of the relevant information on one or a few home pages of certain users... then we could post a link to their FR home page which would contain the important source documents.
I think organizing this info is a great idea;
in fact, all of these threads (minus some irrelevant
sniping) would make a great "oral history"
of this case. (much better than researching the archives of the N & O!)
It saves them a lot of time repeating themselves to the newbies...
It may give you some ideas
It certainly a worthwhile idea. It's cumbersome trying to sort the FR threads to find info. Another thing that Abb started doing, and it's very important, is if you're posting an article - Post it in its entirety.
The links age out, sometimes in as little as 15 days.
The Timeline may be a goog place to start. Do a timeline thread with good key words and the right information in the TITLE. Isn't that how the FR search tool works - is on words in the Title?
thanks
We are thinking alike. There is no reason not to start now. The nice thing is that if the thread gets unwieldy, you can just reorganize the info, transfer it a new "timeline" file, and delete the old one. We can use the timeline file as a testing ground, seeing what works and what doesn't. I'll post it shortly.
I put four file threads up, which should be enough to see how it's going to work.
1. DLX must be reserved for Duke Lax File threads only. Otherwise, other threads get mixed in.
2. I think it works well to have a specific file keyword, such as DLXDNA, on an active thread dealing with DNA. By clicking on keyword DLXDNA, posters have quick access to the DNA files - both to add links and use as a reference. When a new thread becomes active, then the moderators can remove the DLXDNA from the thread. This will keep the system cleaner.
3. The moderators have been very cooperative in this.
4. You may want to discuss how you want the files titled. For example, perhaps they should be called Duke Rape Hoax Files.
5. That's fine tuning though. The important thing is to encourage everyone to start pouring links into the file threads so we can get it running.
6. As to whether to add DUKELAX on file threads, it won't matter to the DLX file system. You can't hurt the DLX system by adding keywords. You CAN clutter the system if DLX is added to non file threads.
I think if people could just have a dumpster for their links, it would simplify things for them. Thoughts?
I'll give them each a key word for whatever category they are assigned.. i.e. statements, press conferences, video, JNC, Liestoppers, etc..
Each time I get new links I can add them to the database and resort and I'll put them on my FR home page as a web site for the Duke HOAX...
We can even link to critical posts made in specific threads..
I'll gather up the links for the threads already created.. Send me any others you might have... I have several bookmarked that I can add as well...
We'll see how it turns out...

Would it be helpful if that were divided up among several people? Say, have the thread titles on one page and volunteers agreeing to grab links out of a particular thread.
For example, have a thread where the titles of the DUKELAX threads are listed and numbered 1- 400 (or however many there are). A poster could stop by and volunteer to harvest links, say, from threads 1-5. The threads could be checked off as the harvesting is completed.
I'll follow your lead on this.
Going to use a few posts as a palette
