A sticky on proper methodology is needed

Perhaps the forum should be divided into clearly defined categories where questions can be asked, and information can be requested by subject.

Maybe categories such as:

-keris Identification
-Hilt
-Blade
-Warangka
-Mendak
-Pamor
-Dapur
-Handling, Cleaning & Care.
-Other questions, tips and interesting links.
-Photo Gallery forum members

That's not a bad idea Sirek.

An index.

Group things together, provide links to the threads.

The index could cover identification as well as repair and restoration.

Yeah. Good idea.

I reckon our moderators would be very eager to undertake this task --- something to do on long winter nights when the snow is falling down and the wind is howling. Or maybe some community conscious kerisophile in Europe might like to do it. We can rule out the Land of Oz, no cold winter nights, no snow, and anyway, we're all barbarians down here, we would lack the necessary cultural refinement to undertake such a culturally important mission.

Also very useful would be a database of pamors.

So that the knowledge currently available, is not lost in the future.

I myself found out that not everything what is written in books is based on facts: (http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11904)
and it is because of existing knowledge, i have received the correct information.

And I can imagine if the people with the knowledge contribute to this plan there arises a sort of reference guide with photos and descriptions.

This can eventual be divided into: stripe –pamor, leaf-pamor etc. or search by name.

But these are just ideas, I am not sure if anyone could make this happen.
