I'll happily port over what little work I had done. The username "badger" was taken on wikia, so I registered as "BJR" there.

Now the question is what is our plan of attack? I see the wiki as fulfilling three purposes:

  • Reference guide to OB and LW
  • Repository for syllabi and beginner study guides
  • List of questions that are currently or should be investigated (per AnnaSalamon's suggestion on the last thread)

We will need to resolve what our policy of quotation from OB and LW is.

To be honest this is largely a matter of getting Eliezer's opinion because something like 80% of the material that's quotable enough for rewording to be a shame is his. Robin's drier writing style is more amenable to paraphrased summaries, and everyone else is a small fraction of the total material.

Of course, a general policy would be nice.

Well you can totally quote me.
