Hi Sandra, I was traveling and took some time to get back to this.
There is a lot packed into this statement. I agree that a "book paradigm" creates ordering and topic curation. A big fear of mine, and it seems of yours, is that anything that is "article" based becomes a kitchen utility drawer of disorder and chaos. The knife you want it always at the bottom and you know own 42 differently sized grapefruit spoons because you either forget you have one or you can never find them. I think that the key is that we can still have order and curation, but we need to think about writing our topics in a more independent way. This is not a new thought and I am far from the first person to state it here. Perhaps what is needed is an assessment of what that really means and a through review and modification of one group of topics (aka book) to get it there and see if it works.
The goal, as I understand it, is to have F22 material and F23 materials, for example, separated. If something "rolls forward" unmodified, let's have two copies. git is pretty efficient so I am not worried about disk space.
Tagging can help here. My response would be that the Astronomy SIG should be doing two things: 1) Building a curated index/TOC of topics for their materials and the related bits. 2) Adding specific topics that are for their SIG. regards, bex
