Mistress Rayah:
First, we are not going to nail anybody to the wall with carrots. There are
much better things to do with them :). You imagination inserted here...

Documentation:
First what is primary, secondary and tertiary documentation? Definitions
please. I have found that most of the explanations do not apply to my
brewing efforts. I have no primary documentation according to the
definitions given so far. No brew from period exists. But I do have
archeological finds and chemical analysis musings to refer to and period
written articles telling me what to use, but not how much to use. This
has at least started me into an interesting direction.

Next, What is enough documentation? How should documentation be
structured to get the point across without bludgeoning the overburdened
judges with pounds of useless paper? When should a source be quoted?
Do we footnote or do we end-note?

What is your favorite color ? Ops, wrong movie.

Pictures as documentation. I have been scanning in pictures and blowing
them up to see the details on the page too small for the normal eye. Some
may have seen this in the calligraphy entries at southern Oaken. This
DOES show the weave and other needed details ad nauseam. Does this
make for primary documentation due to the detail?

Enough for now. If we get answers to these little questions, we will be
greatly pleased.

I am looking right now for good documentation that I have examples of to
put on the net. Any takers out there?
