Circular #673 -- The Grice Circle

--- By J. L. S.
--------- for the Grice Club.

The Grice Circle _is_ the Grice Club, but I want to pun on 'circle'. Please circulate!

Jason Kennedy is offering help to R. B. Jones about things like


Pages from the Proceedings of the Grice Club. This year of Grice.

And I wonder if that hypertext rubric for 'index' will work here. I mean, if every time we signal an author, say Kneale, and we think that the proceedings should retrieve those names in a name index, if we can add the rubric as we write our posts or comments, so that it will be 'less work for the morrow' as he (Kneale) would say.

Someone should write the Foreword soon enough. This Year of Grice (2010) is much on the way, so THESE are the proceedings. What we want is the "pages" from the proceedings. And we have to organise slightly the thing. When we click "click" to publish, we don't necessary want a 6,934 page-thing. So we may want to think of at least name-indexing facilities. Reference facilities are more of a bore, but we should think about them, too.

Jones, elsewhere, suggests Gr89, i.e. to mean, "Studies in the Way of Words", followed by ":" and name of page, which looks good.

The idea of using bold type for important things looks good too, and I follow Kramer there.

The idea of a lexicon or glossary looks good. And with that, it's almost done, no? :) Jones thinks we should also think of the potential reader, but should we need to go there?!
