A sticky on proper methodology is needed

Yes nice idea there... a compilation or culling of these means and methods for comarison and choice will be good..

Certainly a good idea. We'll see what we can do on that one.

So, how's this working out for you guys ?
Are you gathering data ?
I added a couple to the 'Classics' that Jussi pointed out .

Howdy,

I guess best would be to form a new thread for each category by quoting from existing threads that sometimes may go a bit off the target at times. This way we would have threads that stay on topic. Problem is who´s gonna do it? I would but as I have no experience to judge what should go in and what should not I´ll excuse myself for the benefit of everybody else

Another way is to simply add threads that have information on the topic under the classics as already done. – An occasional posting off the topic (from this point of view) on such a thread is not going to hurt no-one I guess.

Other ways? I do not know. Ideas, anybody?

Thanks,

J.

If I may suggest, may be the moderator can make a sticky notes with links, similar to Ethnographic Weapons forum?

If we or someone summarize a discussion, will be very difficult. Interesting threads can be formed/ grouped together into one link, for easier access?

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.
