Journals of Experiences and Findings

[Tao]

I think many people prefer writing in a notebook or something rather than type it to the computer..(including me).. So how can they email that (maybe scan it or something) ?

This would be a great idea in a way, but many would not agree
I think Adrian would not mind keeping this topic

Well, when ya wanna keep your experiences personal, a notebook is good but if you want to share, it would have to be done online.  I just see lots of confusion with people trying to project (including me) and I know that they would always gleam some helpful information whether it be pertaining to doubts, expectations, etc. and searching the forums isn't too efficient not to mention quite draining.

Pretty cool place.  Too bad most of the journals are so low-quality though.  A whole slew of them are just net-diaries as well.  Well, that's what happens when ya have an automated system and let anyone in, even if they haven't written a first entry to their journal.

I don't know if it's already around, but I think having a place to post a continous journal of people's experiences and findings would be a good idea.  I've looked around the website and haven't found anything like it.  While this forum is like it, topics slide into obscurity pretty fast and the older ones will not be noticed.  What I propose is a section where people can upload/update/edit journals.  They could be organised by person and/or type of experience and of course, chronologically.  

Posting journals like this would help out a lot of people like these forums do.  Not only would you help others by sharing your problems/findings/revelations with others who might be having them but I'm sure other experienced readers could give you pointers as well.

The only things that I think should be required is that the journals stay relevant to their topic, remain clear grammatically and otherwise, have reasonable spelling, and stay organised.  This is so that they are easily browsable, skimmable and readable.  A good example are the training articles on astralpulse.com's page.

I'm not sure if the owner(s) of this site would want to do this sort of section but I'd be willing to help if it would be possible.  If not, I could host people's journals on my computer.  Only problem is that it's only up maybe half the time and there would be no automatic way to update your journals (meaning you would hvae to email them to me or upload them via ftp).

Give me your thoughts on this. [^]
