It occurred to me that if we ever wanted to consolidate a "best of" collection of our work, we could put *that* into a community called Rheinsberg (journal title "1740 and All That").
It would also give us a chance to solve some of the problems with linking people to our current threads, which is that most of our comments assume knowledge of previous discussion. When someone went to copy a comment into Rheinsberg, they could add supplementary notes, links, and required reading as needed.
Thoughts?
ETA: Of course, we do run the risk of splitting discussion if we *do* get attention there and people leave comments and questions. But at least the main posts could be a little more polished and work as standalone pieces.
