Here's an early product of my historical research. I've collated all the history annotations from the rulesets that I've found, and resolved most of the many conflicts between them. The data behind this output includes rule text too, but I'm concentrating on the history logs to provide the framework on which to hang the text.
http://www.fysh.org/~zefram/agora/rules_history.txt This listing includes 17 rules for which I have not yet been able to resolve conflicts between multiple versions of the history. If anyone has mail logs that shed light on these situations, please let me know. In fact, if anyone has extensive mail logs preceding 2002-12 (the move to the present agoranomic.org mailing lists), or for the backup lists in any era, please let me know. As we've had lots of public archives disappear, I'd like to build up and host as full an archive as possible. -zefram
