Subject: names so far


We've got proposals for:

dialogism (Laurie Cubbison) 
[thoughtaction, praxis] (Tom Blancato) (I still prefer the latter)
[deep listening] (Fred Maur)
[complexity] (MER)

and just today something that remotely sounded like the ill-fated 
new-hegelians of Palmer days (now THAT was a lousy list name, and it 
killed what should have been a thrilling list) which might be called, oh, 
I dunno, [misrecognition] or [symptom], [sinthome?] or [bouleversements] 
or [boulevards] or [barricades] or something.

I'd say let's go with dialogism already--we all think it's great--and come
up with decent names/infos/projects for the second two, get a little more 
out of MER but basically it sounded cool, and discuss some more about the 
last. Have I missed anything? And is spoon collectively going to discuss 
amongst yourselves as they say and get back to us? Should we maybe 
discuss consolidating other lists, like the one seminar list which is 
basically dead (14? 10?)? What, for the uninitiated, is actually involved 
in setting up a new list in terms of programming & bureaucracy? Are we 
discussing practical impossibilities? Or is it actually feasible to think 
about better and more FLEXIBLE ways to run these things?
