Further ... (01)
How about using the wiki more as a tool to develop the "informal
ontology" among the community, as a precursor to the eventual
formalization. (02)
We can use the wiki to help capture input, on particularly crucial or
problematic concepts (not meant to be exhaustive or complete) from
any/multiple participants on: (03)
(a) related concepts (04)
(b) pertinent axioms (05)
(c) drafts (and multiple proposals) to statements and documentation (06)
It provides the "shared display" that may help bring convergence
(after a possible divergent start). (07)
... more thoughts? (08)
Regards,
PPY
