| My 2ps worth Spencer's thoughts.... "I am increasingly wondering about the quality of its current curation, eg in terms of it's structural content compared to the few other archaeological websites that I have cursorially visited. When was there a review of that content, and any ideas about improvement acted upon?" Well Spencer has thrown some balls into the ring, quite interesting but he is talking about updating TMA. So does it need it, I am not sure, the 'front' page covers most of what is happening in news, links, photos, blogs, folklore and field notes. The forum, with its ups and downs, seems to cover any other topic. The Modern Antiquarian started from a book and then grew in a very fast manner as people started to find the megalithic stones and sites that we all love and treasure. There are many ways of writing about everything, and the enthusiam of people as they trog out to some lonely spot overcome by the magnificence of the landscape is something to cherish, some photos are so beautiful. So perhaps TMA as a resource is still growing, is still in its adapting stage, finding new sites and caring for them. You cannot stop it in full flow and reorder it into something new. Spencer again... being a bit defensive here, we all know where he is coming from but he is soooooooooo right ;) "Before anybody chips in, my opinion to which I'm entitled, and I shall not post on this topic again, and I can but hope that any response will be constructive, informative, good humoured and good tempered. Remember... if the current contributors want an increase in their number to apparent former levels - and why should they not? - then that is the way it has to be. Not everyone is a learned expert, and everyone was not one once..and the possesion of knowledge does not make a better person than the rest, but 'just' a more informed one. Information should be shared to others by the so possessed who remain mindful that the recipients are equal as people from the outset." My idea; Desert Island books, 8 to be precise, of course your bibles will have to be TMA book and Burl, so only 6 to choose... Reply | with quote |  25th January 2017ce 09:09 8 replies: Re: Change?
