Hello, John,
My name's Clark Robinson; I am working with Barrett Brown on Project PM.
I am a retired lawyer helping him with administrative tasks. I am
copying Scott Mintz, who is also working closely with Barrett.
I was glad to hear from Barrett that you are interested in joining Project PM as a blogger; I have very much enjoyed reading your work at True/Slant.
Here is a link to our group blog, http://workshoppm.blogspot.com/
, which is a forum for those of us interested in developing Project PM. This site is not Project PM itself; it is just a planning instrument.
I will also send you separately an invitation to full access at the planning
blog.
I recommend you get posting status on the workshop blog, even if you
don't think you will use it immediately.
If you click back into
the "older posts," you will find a list of links to various articles
Barrett has written which provide interesting background for the
project. A couple of these links also give a foretaste of his book
coming out later this summer (the ones with the names of NYT pundits in
the link). In addition to Michael Hastings, yourself, Allison Kilkenny, Mark Adomanis and Charles Johnson, Barrett recently recruited Mano Singham, a physicist, who is
Director of the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and
Education at Case Western Reserve University; his blog is at http://blog.case.edu/singham/
.
You will also see on the workshop blog that we are talking about applying the
underlying concepts of Project PM to charitable work and to journalism
about science, and some of the posts on the workshop blog relate to
those sub-projects.
We have been paying attention to how we work as a group, and e-mail
appears to be the interaction tool of choice for many of us, so don't
hesitate to send us mail.
I was also pleased to hear that Molly Knefel may be interested; I do not have an e-mail address for her, but I would like to give her the same planning access I am sending you.
