UPDATE, Sunday 20th June

[a_reader2003]

PROGRESS
We have now coded, or allocated for coding, 11515 posts. Of the 
11515, 10140 have actually been coded, and of the 10105, 7169 have 
been rejected - a consistent rate of 70.7%.

Currently, there are 7 people actively coding, which is some kind of 
record. Only 100 posts remain to be finished on the Yahoo club, and 
then that's done with.

An observation - if you are coding by thread rather than one by one 
(and it is a good approach sometimes), could you just go back and 
recheck from start to finish just to make sure no posts got left out 
as result? I have come across some orphans within otherwise finished 
sets of posts as I have counted up each week. They are easy to spot 
as they are black rather than grey or green.

ISSUES
(1) FP-dom. 
Certainly we can have some fun reviewing what people have entered 
into this category later - don't be inhibited in clicking this box as 
you go along. The benefit of having a team doing this is the mix of 
people's opinions on what's good and what isn't. 

(2) Editing
Now we have the 'p' feature, its possible to do some editing on what 
has been coded up so far. Any views on how to tackle this ? This 
exercise would also help in writing the definitions, which summarise 
what kind of post goes under which category.

(3) Meta themes
7 sins/7 virtues (Peg Kerr's stuff). Further thoughts needed on what 
codes we need for these.

(4) Legal issues
Related to what we can and can't do in displaying the posts. Sorry if 
this sounds dull, but its rather central to creating an innovative 
product for the members to use. See Paul Kippes' points this week.

CATEGORY CHANGES (extensive, but feel its important to list them for 
the record)
BTW, I'd just like to point out that there are currently no less than 
*58* theory acronyms against our favourite potions teacher, way more 
than for relatively unimportant characters like Harry (!). Never has 
a man been more misunderstood..etc
