There isn't any harm in doing so, but I'm not sure how valuable it
is, either. In my "firewalled" section of the requirements, I address
the need for private vs. public DKRs. You "publish" from the private DKR
by putting into the public version, I think. That implies a way to keep
track of *which* public DKRs it has gone into, so that only
version-differences are sent when publishing subsequently.
Along those lines, an email forum is a "diary" of interactions. The
reduction step consists of abstracting the thoughts they contain,
effectively replacing them in a subsequent version of the document.
The diary system at Rod's site is difficult to follow because (given the
technology available at the time) everything is done with links. What
you want, though, is for much of the material to be "inline" instead of
linked. When you publish a "reduced" version, the material that was
originally inline becomes relegated to a link -- a link which is
identified as something that points to "supporting information" or
"original arguments" or the like, so you know you don't want to follow
it unless you are particulary interested in deeper information.
Where things get messy is when I do one reduction and you do another.
We now have competing versions of the summary. The original discussion
now has a higher-level fork, where my document points to the original
version, and your document points to the original version, but both of
these are under some *other* node -- where they may themselves be
summarized, or where evaluations by different folks may lead to one of
them being chosen as the "better" reformulation of the issues.
Understanding what happens at such times is one of the things we need to
tackle in the use-case analysis.
