    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>

                                              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

                                                          to announce a

                                                          for $20,000 to
                                                          help finance a

                                                          <br>
                                                          The check was
                                                          hand delivered
                                                          recently by
                                                          Michael
                                                          Chastain, of
                                                          Austin, Texas.
                                                          Mr. Chastain
                                                          also recently
                                                          contributed

                                                          <br>
                                                          I plan to do
                                                          something
                                                          similar to
                                                          what we did in

                                                          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>

                                                          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

                                                          present to the

                                                          others might
