I, too am new to the MF list, and have been observing, waiting to see
where to jump in. Sam has some good ideas. Having an opportunity to
review previous dialogues would give me a flavor of what has happened
before.
I am interested in how everyone's perception/understanding of Quality
has affected their lives - their vocations, relationships, way of life,
etc. If this list is to be terminated, it seems to me that it would be
good to have some kind of "summing up" on the part of the members as to
what Quality means to your lives, and what, if any benefit you have
derived from the discussions.
If the group does continue, I will commit to participating.
Best wishes,
Steve

Subject: Re: MF List
Greetings to the MF subscribers,
I'm a fairly recent convert to the joys of moq.org, having only started
to subscribe about six months ago. I've subscribed to both MD and MF
forums, but have contributed much more (almost exclusively) to the MD
rather than the MF. There are a number of reasons for this. The first is
simply that the topics that came up in the MD list were more interesting
to me, and I felt I had something to say on them. The second is that the
MD list moved much more quickly from topic to topic (more dynamic etc).
The third is that, until recently, I haven't felt sufficiently
'qualified' to comment in the MF forum. It's much easier to dip your toe
into the waters of the MD forum, rather than the heavy lifting of the
MF. However I do think that there is scope for the MF list to run
alongside the MD list, and I would be sorry to see it abandoned (we
could think of it as lying dormant for a little while though?).
In particular, I think that there are topics which would be better
suited to the MF format. One is the 'tree' idea, setting out logically
where different choices about the MoQ dictate certain consequences. But
there are also MD inspired topics that really should be put through the
MF process - for example recent thoughts about how the different levels
interact, and what exactly IS the intellectual level.
One related thought. Is there scope for somewhere on the site having a
collection of 'seminal postings', or pointers to them in the archive, so
that newbies can get a feel for what has been discussed before, and
therefore (hopefully) not have to keep reinventing the wheel. (I'm
thinking of things like the SOLAQI idea of Bo's). The essays serve some
of the same purpose, but might in themselves be a bit daunting. I'm
thinking of something like a 'newbies corner', with a few explanations
of key things, pointers to key postings, and perhaps links to the biog
sections so that they can get a better feel for who is who. (BTW how do
we get a bio posted?)
That's all for now, folks!
Sam
