I would like to make credit card sized (50 MB) CDROMS with
0. A label that ensures interest, a simple text maybe only the text
The Antifeminist archives so you could leave some at libraries, the office, pubs for public consumption. After all the title is an important indexing mecanism. You do not want it to end in the rubbish bin or in the drawer just because you ignored the label. Add the version number.
On the disk
1. an index in table of some 100 - 200 of the most important articles on the net
2. the the articles themselves on the disk
3. additional indices with different order (by author, by title, grouped by diferentr criteria).
Main index file table layout
Table Heading (source, author, website, the main group chosen) spanning the columns
Article
Title,
Author, Short
Description (max 100 chars)
in their own columns.
The title of the article is a hyperlink to the internet (original source), the description si a hyperlink to the backup copy on the disk itself.
Dead internet links are irritating, so I consider a local backup copy essential.
I thought of something like this:
http://www.multishapecdrom.com/cd_price.htmlhttp://www.ebusiness-cards.co.uk/cd_business_cards_cdr_cards.htmof course, the storage medium is not that important, you could easily have a copy on your USB memory stick, maybe just the index file with links to the Internet, if you like.
It maybe a good idea to separate the index with links to the Internet and the index with links to the local copy into their own files.
I just measured the size of Baskevilles articles (2.1 MB) and those of Enrico Furioso (5.4MB) (Angry Harry's Student's Guide To Feminism).
There is a long way to go to 50MB. I would not like to fill it up unless the contents are
clusterbombs; I definititely would not like to dilute it.
What else to add? I propose
The original research on domestic violence (women slightly more violent) with a summary,
a short section with humour (maybe not, perhaps it should be kept dead serious?),
case stories (some with the sexes inversed),
a section on political correctness in general (but clusterbomb standard),
...
(more ideas?)
We need a master plan taking into account
that this should be an ongoing activity, we may create new versions, correcting and expanding a previous disk and creating new volumes with entirely new contents,
evaluating
the impact of the disk,
how to minimise loss (sparse distribution; "forget" one here and there),
distribution channels and targets (politicians, newspapers, judges, ...),
what to include, what to exclude,
alternative media (old paper; keep it short a few articles max per packet)
What to includeStrictly feminism, possibly expand to political correctness
Whom to include(Make a list of authors to seach.)
What to excludeYour pet political ideas, socialism, capitalism, libertarianism, economy... when not touching the main theme.
Whom to exclude(Any paranoid, fringe group, violent extremist, ...)
What do you think?
