Now this is the kind of approach to discussion I like What we need to do is find a way to keep track of all these issues discuss them separately or in clusters  whatever works best in various cases then figure out how to implement what we decide etc Now I really have to get to work now sometimes I go to work in the middle of the night  quieter no distractions but let me quickly suggest the following Would you mind if later I reorder these to bring related issues together maybe group them into headings and number them Then it can be a kind of master checklist while we open separate discussion threads on each issue or cluster referring to them by number etc As new issues come up we can add them under the appropriate heading in the list and come back to it later if need be Also if we get stuck on something eg Need to get book X at library or EEng and CG decided to take a break on this one before they kill each other we can just note that in the list as the status for that issue and switch to another issues for a while Would that be OK Id like to be the one to set up this organization just because I hope you will agree I have a better mastery of all the moving parts in the Gage story and how they fit together In the meantime though if youre eager to get started ASAP let me ask you about two of your points so far Missing Gages time in New Hampshire prior to Chile See already here I wish I could just say re Issue A or something Can you say more what youd like to see on this Still glaringly missing the details surrounding his return home illness and death  same question    PS I may have little chance to interact tmw but this is a good start  lets keep our cool and preserve it
