Make an index
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 11:45 pm
As L19 gets larger, eventually stuff will be hard to find. I'm going to be writing more indexes like these ( http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewto ... f=11&t=667
or https://lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=17741 ). I'd like your help.
Searching will do for some things. But sometimes the word is so common that it will generate a bunch of extra links ( like 'joseki' ) or sometimes the word is not used at all ( like monkey jumps in a Malkovich game ) or sometimes there is no reasonable search term ( as in the index shown above )
So please invest in the long term health of L19. Pick a subject that interests you. Keep track of the posts/threads that have it. And make an index.
Thanks
JB
EDIT: Yes, the proper word may be 'indices'...which illustrates another reason for an index: not every subject may be spelled correctly.
EDIT2: Please look at the index mentioned in the first sentence, and try to copy the style/format.
