Whatever works for you and furthers your vision for what you want Mudcat to be has worked well thus far, and I have no reason to believe that will not continue to be the case. After googling crowdsource, folksonomy, social tagging, etc., I'm still scratching my head, wondering what the implications are. That is my limitation. Plus, I am a parasite here. I take much and contribute virtually nothing, however contribution might be defined.

At some point you may have to choose among visions. Although you don't express it clearly, I think you know that you are a visionary in terms of what you forsee the potential for this site to be. Do I understand that one choice among visions is to allow the community and the site as a repository of information and research to stand or fall based on the behavioral choices of the participants?

You are also a generational bridge, both in terms of your interests and in terms of your technological savy and comfort. You can not expect, nor can we expect of you, to be a permanent bridge.

All the best,

Janie
