What I mean is that job searches pay off once you find a job

Not to derail this thread to a third topic

perhaps we should have points for the categorizing@home community project.


like i said, i'm down. as long as they'll be grouped in a heirarchal manner (substance-->sub cats similar to e-wid: good/bad/combo/etc..

i agree a team of 5-10 individuals would be perfecct. Existing reports should be categorized as best as possible (ie: mimimally by substance and overall experience good/bad). i also think that a team of about 3-5 individuals needs to be maintained to 'review' new reports and categorize the influx. However, to make things easier and more complete, there SHOULD be a standard format for the header of the report, ie: Substance, Dosage, M/F, Body Mass.

I am more than willing to pour over a few thousand documents for the sake of a more efficient and thorough shroomery.

The best approach would probably be to divide work-segments up into 100-200 report blocks and assign these to the volunteers.

EDIT: well, i just took a random look at some of the reports and noticed that some of them have absolutely no pertinent data. ie:

"i spit it out in my hand then went to the kitchen and got some milk i took i think like 5 about a couple minutes later i felt sick and stuff so i went to the bathroom and thought i was gonna throw up but i didnt so i went back and sat down and a couple more minute later i started feeling like my feet were stuck to the ground and i couldn't move them i told my friends and ever jus started laughing everyone was talkin and i was sittin there like trippin out having fun i got up and we were playin some music and we all started dancing and my brother had in on video i was like all laughin and stuff i think that was the best time i ever had in my life thanx to the shrooms"

Reports like this should be scrapped, but to avoid bias, maybe reccommend for deletion and then have 1-2 people be solely responsible for deciding if they should be deleted or not... or if that's how the 'trash' function already works, maybe add-on to whomever takes care of that as i'm sure there'll be a great increase of trashed crap-reports if this project gets underway.

just my 2-cents and +1

Yeah Erowid would definitely be the template we worked off of but we should try not to bite it off completely, ya know? Hard to avoid that, though.

even if it is kinda following suit, it's a logical method for organization. i find the problem with erowid's vault is that the information is a little too concise. I'm sure Ythan never thought that the shroomery would be where it is today when he first turned it on the interwebs, but the information here is ALOT more in-depth....just not as organized i think we'd be doing the interwebs a favor by working toward another Giant bank of information that OBVIOUSLY alot of people are interested in.

already done. i have another interview at 3pm tomorrow. apparently they need people at the store the next town over and the one here had faxed my other interview and stuff over to them so i've got a good feeling i got the job since they are understaffed and need people for the position i want. ^_^

Getting called in for a second interview usually means you've got it wrapped up.
