I would suggest a one main thread ( i think we have it already) where we can maintain/ archieve the conclusions of various threads. it should go something like this- say i visit Toe-quest -i should be directed to the main thread where all the facts are archieved. from there if you want to get into the proof and validity of the statements, one can branch out to visit various other threads and discussions threads where factual statement originated.
I think this is a great idea. I'll accept the nomination but need to consider the best approach. I've thought about this in the past, and have considered various ways to present that data. I researched mind-mapping software in the past, which actually worked pretty well, but it's web presentation was not nearly mature enough for what I wanted. A flash presentation where you can drill down on the facts and then link to supporting discussions in the forums would be nice too, but that would require a lot of programming and members may not wish to download the necessary flash player. A thread in the forum may work for now, but I'd like to move towards a more visual oriented display of the factual information in the future that links to the supporting text discussions. I'll give the thread approach some more thought and comment more later.

I'll start an ongoing thread on this somewhere to keep track of this (and the chat room planning also). Gotta go to bed now. Getting late here. --Robert
