[FRIAM] Archiving Friam conversations as editable text.

G.

Like you could read it as a book of letters, one after another, in the order in which they were written. 

I will look into Doku Wiki.  

Sounds very oriental.

Nick you want it as editable text?

Can you tell me or us what you meen by that?

Like to print in a book or something latter?

Or do you meen so you can latter say oh hey their's a a threat I was interested in. I wonder what happened sometime latter. If so

Anyone know if that could be simply done just in a wiki or send it to wordpress to post them some place somehow?

I meen wiki's like DokuWiki's one of the neet things is they keep track of tons of stuff. 

Just an idea.

Dear Friammers, 

So, I am now safely installed in the MIB, and now I am trying to fulfill my promise to try to turn your excellent work concerning “What Pragmatism Is” into an editable text.  I realize this is a project that only a mother could love, but humor me a little bit.  

So, the first method I tried, via Outlook, failed.  Outlook apparently keeps its email messages disaggregated in something like a vast CSV file.  When you ask for a single message, it re-aggregates the fields of the message and presents it to you.  If you try to export a bunch of messages, it exports them as a CSV file or as a bunch of icons.  There is no way that I can see to open all the messages  of a thread into a single Word File for editing.  There is no way to write macros for Outlook.  So, that’s the end of the Outlook line, for me, I think.  

My next thought was to work with the FRIAM archive.  I thought perhaps I could import an entire thread from the  archive, and since, as I remember, the archive is organized chronologically, I might have my rough editable file that way.  I could then write a macro to delete unnecessary repetitive stuff, and would be done.

However, I could not, following instructions on the FRIAM page, get into the FRIAM archive at all.  If anybody has used it recently, could you get in touch?

Thanks.
