Intentions
I don't see how the website I have in mind can ever be anything but incomplete - I can't even imagine what 'complete' could mean. I'm writing this before even starting building a first page. I'll start with a few items, and write others and bolt them in. It'll take quite a lot of pages before the shape I have in mind becomes at all discernible, if it ever does. I want it to become a network of connected items that people can find their own ways through, though once it gets big enough to matter I intend to offer some guided paths. As well as additions, I intend to feel free to rewrite any pieces when I learn more, or get corrected, or think of new things to say, so each page is provisional - I may write a few lines only, at times, with the intention of saying more later on. My early inclination is to lean towards lots of small pages rather than big ones, since that fits better with my complex linking ideas. This is not a promise that there won't be large pages at all, of course.
