I hope over the next few weeks the contributors can all have some discussion about the role of the space for blog entries vis-a-vis the books section. My own feeling is that blog entries should be shorter or newsy, and the books section should be the place for sustained and in-depth discussion. Of course, from time to time, the blog entries should also announce what's going on in the books section. The blog section can remain more chaotic, but what seems lacking is a more structured "books" section. We should all weigh in with our opinions on these sections, as well as the role of the forums, and perhaps also start suggesting time-frames for forum or book discussions. One such proposal, on Asian Biennales, has been floated, so let's see how that one goes -- the proposed date for that is sometime in mid-October.
