SLYTH: DE's, Aurors, and Justice

<Derannimer squints up at her subject heading>

D'you like the prefix? Should we do it like that, or write out the whole word:

SLYTHERIN

Yeah. You know, after looking ? albeit rather briefly ? at the existing "Government" 
FAQ, I really do think that they ought to be combined somehow. I mean, the new FAQ 
is supposed to be "DE's, Aurors, and Justice." But "Aurors" and "Justice" at least are 
going to be darn hard to consider *outside* of the Ministry of Magic. I really think we 
ought to look at combining the two ? and I imagine that we're going to be massively 
expanding our "Government" FAQ as it is, as it is

A: Quite out-of-date

and

B: Likely to be utterly swamped by OOP.

(I really, really think there's gonna be a *lot* of Ministry stuff in OOP)

So, er.

<Derannimer realises she's been talking quite a lot, and adds rather sheepishly>

Prefects?

What do you think we should do, about all of this?

Oh, and, er, one other thing: We've got that database for posts we spot that look 
particularly fantastic; I'm going back through the archives on an "Aurors" search ? 
although I certainly plan to use the Enchilada as well. But my question is, if I see some 
posts we might really wants to include in the FAQ, I might want to send them in that 
database ? but so will all of the other houses, both before and after OOP comes out. 
So for ease of browsing through the database, is there some way we can indicate two 
pieces of information *other* than the keywords and etc? 

Two pieces of information namely being:

1. Pre- or Post- OOP. (Phyllis actually suggested this once before)

and

2. Houses that post might be relevant for.

I mean, obviously a post could be relevant for more than one house ? something that 
could be used for MOM-style justice could also be used for Sirius Black, for example 
? but if someone on one of the house teams sees a post that they think could be 
used for the FAQ that house is working on, couldn't they flag it with their house name 
somehow? And the words "Sirius Black" could still be somewhere in the keywords or 
whatever, so it's not like *only* members of that house would come across it; but it 
would just be a way of indicating "Raw Material for the Government FAQ" or whatever. 
Or maybe the houses should just have their own databases to bung things into. Or 
something.

Am I making any sense at all here?
