Arena02jul27-LJW.rtf ...is now uploaded. Presume you will rename Arena01jul23-LJW.rtf to Arena01mmmdd-AS.rtf when you've finished your pass through it? (Where mmmdd is the month and day part, natch.) Confused ... I need to understand this file name convention thing much better! Do the initials mean "I have had my go", or "over to you"? I thought they mean "over to you". So Arena01jul23-LJW.rtf is intended to be an "over to you." - ALISON Protocol I hope I haven't been "changing the rules" on us but can't swear I haven't. My instinct is to assume the initials mean "she who last edited". Either will do, of course, but as you imply we must agree on it. :-) Here's my take on it.
I am to blame for being sloppy and uploading files without initials a few times, then just notifying you on the blog that your input was wanted. And perhaps this is all too elaborate? My thinking was "while it has an initial on it, it is a tacit declaration that the file is the-chapter-according-to-author-N, then when neither of us wants to tinker any more, the file is just the file. I need the dates to change to keep track of what's new and what isn't. I just find it easiest if the date goes right into the name. I promise to be good and abide by my own protocol in the future if you buy in. Or to abide by your alternative if you prefer. Here's an example of how I am thinking it would work.
