Our chair had staff start a wiki knowledgebase last term. What
quickly became apparent to a few of us is that two LNC members, whom
I won't name here, likely would have provided 80% of the content due
to their willingness to provide it--with staff and other LNC members
feeling like they might not want a significant amount of such
content. So then, we'd have the situation where staff (primarily
me), would be telling my bosses (the LNC), what they can and can't
do and write where. That's a tough position for staff to be in.<br>
<br>
With you putting together the wiki, it's a much more stable
situation. You have no trouble providing frank feedback to your
fellow LNC members.<br>

Thanks for the quick reply. If that is
the case, then I will simply set
something up and make sure that everyone
on the LNC has access to it. At least
to start, I would like to ensure that it
is LIMITED to members of the LNC only.
This is not to be secretive, but rather
to ensure that we can build it up before
hearing an unlimited number of opinions
on how to change it.<br>
<br>
</div>
Your comment is incredibly well-taken.
However if that's truly the case then this
is something the LNC and LP need to learn
how to do better and of course I would be
happy to help facilitate that.<br>
<br>
</div>
Opinions are not especially useful for
knowledge bases. What is useful is having
unrestrained access to rules, facts, and
data that is otherwise spread all over the
place. Per my yard sign not having the word
Libertarian on it, that is indeed an
opinion. Understanding the laws regarding
font sizes, the legal language about right
of ways and things of this nature are not
opinions and rather facts about how it needs
to work.<br>
<br>
</div>
Additionally I would argue that since design
work is no doubt very subjective that we
should have a variety of templates available
to people. There need not be a homogeneity to
our processes, but it would be really useful
if candidates (and others) didn't need to
waste time starting from scratch. That was
the part I found incredibly frustrating as a
new candidate. As a business person, I can
tell you that it's mind-boggling to see a
complete lack of process documentation
available. This is again what Kurt has
largely worked to create within Texas and I
would advocate that we do it at a national
level too.<br>
<br>
</div>
Even the ballot access need not have opinions.
It should have facts about what is available to
us. This kind of fact gathering would likely
make our future decisions much more valuable and
of course turns us from discussing opinions to
discussing strategies. Meaning, if could
historically show the time it takes to get
10,000 signatures then we are better equipped to
determine whether or not to spend money on such
a venture.<br>
<br>

<div>I will try to set something up for us.<br>

the concept of having a repository for

Imagine the section for planning LNC

Opinion A: hold it someplace

Opinion B: hold it someplace more

Opinion C: hold it online instead of

I think you can imagine other

etc.<br>
<br>
In any case, there is a ballot access
committee tasked with putting together
best practices for ballot access. And
some places with repositories of info
that that is hard to keep up to date.
Great ideas and goals to have overall.<br>

It's really nice to see
visual data like that;
thanks so much for
putting that together!<br>
<br>
</div>
I had a question for the
LNC in general: do we have
a knowledge-base or some
kind of repository for
keeping up with this kind
of material? It would be
really nice to know that
there is a single place,
accessible by all, where
all of this information
goes.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>When I ran in Texas
last year it was
immediately obvious that
LPTexas had never made any
effort to try to put such
a knowledge base
together. My campaign
team and I did our best to
collect everything we did
and place it into a
navigable Wiki so that
other candidates could use
it. It's far from
exhaustive, but it was a
start and many other
candidates were able to
use it. Incidentally Kurt
Hildebrand has been really
good at creating those
systems within LPTexas
using our org-system.<br>
<br>
Anyway, if we don't have
anything like it then I
would be happy to setup
something like this for
the LNC so that we're not
relying solely upon email
chains for historical
information in the future.<br>

early
Christmas
present - $20,

door hangers</span></font><font face="Helvetica" size="4"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;"></span></font></div>

pleased
to announce a
check received
for $20,000 to
help finance a
major quiz
door hanger
distribution
project in
2016. <br>
<br>
The check was
hand delivered
recently by
Michael
Chastain, of
Austin, Texas.
Mr. Chastain
also recently
contributed
$4,000 for
Oklahoma
ballot access.<br>
<br>
I plan to do
something
similar to
what we did in
2010:<br>
<a href="http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/lp-monday-message-help-reach-a-million" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></a><a class="yiv5784800185moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/lp-monday-message-help-reach-a-million" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/lp-monday-message-help-reach-a-million</a><br>
<a href="http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/quiz-across-america-door-hangers-5-per-100" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></a><a class="yiv5784800185moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/quiz-across-america-door-hangers-5-per-100" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/quiz-across-america-door-hangers-5-per-100</a><br>
<br>
but this time,
I want to do
over a million
door hangers.
I can see
having the
quiz on one
side, and our
presidential
nominee on the
other.<br>
<br>
In 2010, we
also received
a $20,000
check from a
different
donor to help
support door
hangers. With
the extra
financing,
we're able to
sell them at
five cents
each and waive
shipping
charges,
rather than
selling at 10
cents each
plus $5
shipping as we
do now.<br>
<br>
For those of
you new to the
LNC, I've
written
separately,
and will write
more in the
future, about
how the door
hangers do
much more than
simply provide
the printed
advertising
benefits. They
encourage
local
activity, etc.
I'll write
more about it
later. <br>
<br>
To me, this
was an early
Christmas
present to the
LP, but I
certainly
understand
others might
see it
differently:<br>
