Sure, so long as it's called 'Karl's book of what karl thinks matters' and he pays for it himself.
Actually, I'd take a couple of copies of that for people I know called Karl. Look, this isn't rocket science here. Karl has put forward a suggestion for something to be included in the book. Paul, Doc and I think, and I so far have indicated they think it's a good idea. Dave is opposed to it. Fair enough. Now, if every decision on the book is going to be subject to a referendum of the membership we might as well close up shop now. I think singer has posted on the boards indicating people are working on such a book and asking them to contribute or suggest ideas. Hopefully material will come from that. In the meantime I think there is no harm on working away on Karl's idea. If Dave is opposed to it and perhaps wants to keep his name out of it then that is regrettable but obviously his choice. While he might not want Redbrick taking credit for his computing skills, arguably Redbrick would not want to take credit for his interpersonal skills as so amply demonstrated on this thread. So, lets push ahead with Karl's idea, continue through the boards and this group to get suggestions for items of inclusion and start allocating specific jobs of work to specific people otherwise we'll become a wee talking shop.

Seconded, this approach time and again fails, as there is either no reply and the matter disappears, or people jump on each other over little things, and the idea gets lost amid the chaos. If people have something to submit, they submit it, and it gets run through the gauntlet (Which it is really proving to be) here. The boards will hopefully pick up steam and things will be veto'd there too, thus showing an input from the members without putting it to them every single time.

I agree, and I don't really think that it'd be "taking credit" for their work, merely as someone said earlier, a "where are they now" segment, which I would find very interesting and also extremely useful, especially when thinking of sponsorship for the society. It'd be good to show potential sponsors what kind of people tend to be on Redbrick, without claiming that we made them.
