Re: [Critical-Realism] The way forward

[Alan Norrie <alan.norrie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

In thinking about how to proceed, it might be worth knowing that new 
editions of RTS and DPF are expected next Spring, since people have 
difficulty in getting hold of the RTS in particular. February 2008 is 
mentioned, but there is often slippage in these matters.

How do we proceed now? I agree with Jan's general points about structure 
and length of posts, and a moderator. If we went for a mix of JCR articles 
and a book, could we have two moderators perhaps?
