Well, it does say the date it was updated immediately above that line.
 But I took my review from the wiki and put it into a blog post.  Here
is my working theory on how we can best organize the resources
available to us on this spectacular web-site:

 * Discuss restaurants on the mailing list (perhaps spin off a
separate opt-in mailing list for these discussions, and keep this list
for institutional discussions?  Or perhaps not.)

 * Assign decided-upon restaurants to particular people on particular
dates in the task tracker (I think ideally we would have an events
calendar for this but I do not know if the developers of this
phenomenal web-site have any plans to provide such a thing)

 * After a restaurant has been studied by a Task Force, each attendant
member of the Task Force writes an individual blog post about their
experience at the mid-priced restaurant.  These will allow for
off-the-cuff musings, developing opinions and discussion, and a
personalized feel to some of the content on our site which will make
it more appealing and approachable to the average Citizen who may be
undecided about his desire to join the Committee.  Mr. Penate, would
you like to post your personal reflections on Silk Road Palace?

 * After personal blog posts have been written and a suitable period
for reflection has passed, the attendant members of the Task Force
(and perhaps interested non-attendant Committee Members) should
cooperate in person and through a mailing list (a separate list?  I
don't know) and collaborative document editing tools to write up the
Committee's "official, canonical" report, which will be posted on the
site's wiki.

How does this sound?  Any feedback or critique of this proposed
process is much appreciated.

Mr. Ethan G. Jucovy
