Five things for the week
1)That I’m doing this list for the first time in months. I have meant to, several times, just not hard enough to actually get on the keyboard.2) That we managed to get 1,000 people to the site in one day. Can’t tell you how proud I am of that
3) Got the final of the WODC going without a hitch despite some severe scheduling problems
4) Managed to turn around a meeting that was heading south, due I’m sure to my charm, wit and intelligence.
5) In fact I’m going to put the entire WODC down. Okay, it’s gone on longer than a week but I am especially proud because it’s been a big success and could lead to lots of other goodness.
Dave
1) Wrote a press release for the WODC final and one announcing the Judges for the final
2) Wrote a brief introduction on three debates to go in the newsletter
3) Sent some emails out to Lincoln Douglas debate big cheeses in the USA.
4) Researched the new NFL topic on compulsory vaccinations.
5) Waned myself off tea, and now for some reason I am on black coffee.
Ricky
1) I actually managed to find time to edit a fair number of debates this week, first time in ages!
2) revisewise, another change in how we are planning to do things, so more writing of ideas and discussions
3) more revisewise, finished putting up a debate on the 1907 Anglo-Russian Treaty. It is pretty comprehensive. Given how little other secondary literature there is directly on the subject it is possible that only a 1936 book on it is more comprehensive on the topic!
4) LDdebate. A new topic is up on immunisation so ricky and I have been working on that.
5) RRT is going well, they took 9/10 topics sent on Tuesday and have already taken one sent out today. We keep getting more volunteers too.
