Alternate Title #1: Cat Herding 201
Alternate Title #2: WANTED: Rule Writers and Tweakers
The Mixed Ink workroom is a very cool tool, but it’s a bit different from what we are used to in dKos. Ill devote today’s diary so folks can discuss the process and maybe work out any kinks... in this more familiar nesting threads format.
If you missed it, Meteor Blade’s launch Diary is here
As of this morning, there’s 437 comments in MB’s Diary. Here’s our current stats from the Mixed Ink page:

Too many Cooks, not enough Dishwashers. Heh.
I think this is a great opportunity to explore the Mixed Ink format, whether you care or agree/disagree on the Stalking issue specifically can almost be an aside. Consider this effort experimental, if you want, to teach yourself how to use the tool. We may or may not end up with a decent Stalking Rule, but we will have access to a great writing tool that can be used down the road any number of projects.
The Mixed Up workroom is a very cool tool but different from what we are used to in dKos. Please use this diary to discuss the process and maybe work out any kinks... in this more familiar nesting threads format.
As of now, theres 49 kossacks joined up to the workroom. There’s 30 Versions and several of those are either "tests" posts or short blurbs or just comments & observations. There’s actually very few Versions that are ... good. If more people go in there and either write, edit & mix, and, most important, RATE UP the better Versions, we can get the ball rolling.
If you have any questions or confusion about the process or the format, post those here in comments, and I’ll try to get some answers.
Bottom line, it’s a collaborative effort. Well, either that or it’s a trick that MB is using to show us it ain’t all that easy to come up with fair and simple Rules. Lol. I think it's more like that line in the wedding where the preacher says: "Speak now or forever hold your peace."
Now’s your chance.
NOTE: Be sure to view the Mixed Ink how to Video. Its up on the left of the workroom and also embedded in MB's launch diary. Its pretty simple but very helpful in understanding how the remix features work.
