PROGRESS

To date we have either coded or allocated for coding 12315 posts. Of 
the 12315, 11183 have actually been done, and of the 11183, 7794 have 
been rejected - a rate of 69%. The Yahoo club is now completely 
finished and we are all out on the main list.

NEW MEMBERS
Very pleased to welcome Dave Witley and Boyd Smythe as new members. 
Feel free to post and ask any question you like.

LEGAL ISSUES
I have not yet had time to think through Heidi's advice this weekend, 
but will post something later in the week as a proposal for a way 
forward. Thanks for contacting her Paul.

ADMIN
I have updated our Catalogue guide notes and sent a copy to each of 
you individually. As I was re-writing that and bringing it up to 
date, I realised that what was really needed was the summary of 
category descriptions that I started off a week or two ago. There is 
really no other way to summarise the discussions we have had over the 
last few months, especially for new people.

Therefore I have spent many long hours this weekend writing a 
definitions document from scratch, and again have sent it to you all 
individually to ensure you see it. Inevitably, it is a big document, 
but it does represent the category list as of today's date. Please 
take some time to scroll through it, and raise any points you are not 
sure about or disagree with.

In particular, I want to use it to resolve the discussions we have 
been having about changes to the meta themes (see recent posts). Its 
much easier to think about this offline, or even print out the 
document if necessary. I will post a proposal on how I think we 
should handle the changes shortly.

I will regularly put an up to date copy of this definitions document 
in the file section, and paste the agreed definitions into the live 
version of the catalogue on line, so its always easy to remind 
ourselves what goes where.

CATEGORY CHANGES THIS WEEK

NEW CATEGORIES
3.8.4.10 (ID: 1046) Polyjuice potion
3.15.1.1.1 (ID: 1045) Hogsmeade
3.16.4.1.1 (ID: 1047) SENTIMENTAL CRAP (was 2.4.1)
3.16.4.1.1 (ID: 1048) SLOPPY READING (was 2.4.2)

DELETED CATEGORIES 
This is mind-numbing detail, sorry. Essentially, I have removed about 
100 theory categories which I realised were duplicated. Each theory 
acronym should now only appear once somewhere on the list. Hopefully 
it may make a small difference to scrolling time, but I mainly did it 
to save confusion later.
