I have always said that I wanted to do Harry, so I don't know how my 
name got lost. Anyway, I can't do it until I have finished 
Quidditch...

Also, I don't think now is the time to point fingers at anybody for 
what they may or may not be doing. People must feel that they are in 
a conducive environment to work in, before they are likely to come 
back.

Thanks, Tom for summarizing the current assignments. I hope 
we can all put any hard feelings aside. If there's anything I can do 
to make that easier, please let me know off list. 

As a contributor to the Mysteries FAQ I think it's an excellent 
candidate for time capsuling. I'll volunteer for a post-OOP version  
now, though I can't start working on it until January. 

I have a pretty good grasp of the big questions after OOP as I 
have gotten back to reading Main on a fairly consistent basis. It 
might be fun to do a Mysteries addendum on the old questions, 
but I think that can wait.

Is any one else wondering if the Lupin FAQ is jinxed?

Subject: Status Report - Government FP Update
Message-ID: <bqloqe+smnp@eGroups.com>

I'm a little late with this report, but I did make some progress on 
the Government FP in November.  In addition to incorporating all the 
government and justice-related posts from the enchilada, I've 
finished folding in the useful information from Penny's original, and 
in consequence I've refined the structure of the FP.  For one thing, 
I've become more convinced that "Aurors" as well as "Wizarding 
Justice" properly belong here and not with the DEs, since I think 
their main opponent was the Order of the Phoenix.

I'd like to revisit Amanda's questio of whether we're going to 
maintain an archive of the pre-OOP FPs as works in their own right, 
since I'd think we should retain the existing Government FP.  There 
are a lot of interesting things in it (including Penny's and Lori 
Summers' speculative models of the MoM and International 
Confederation of Wizards) that should be retained, and I propose to 
cite to the original in the updated FP.

I've still got a lot of work to do.  I haven't begun to synthesize 
the material on the Aurors and other MoM employees, and while I've 
checked the posts identified as fantastic in our database, I haven't 
done a search of the post-OOP posts (though I do have a collection of 
emails on the Longbottoms).  If anyone recalls any particularly 
noteworthy posts on any of these people, please let me know.  And I 
haven't touched the Department of Mysteries (which I assume is under 
Government and not under Mysteries).

I probably won't have much time to work on this project until the 
Christmas holidays begin.
