* Many parties will already build browsers for such publications, with varying ways of navigating such content.  
* Relationship between "popular" and "interesting" items:
** Much easier to establish "popularity" via simple (implicit, explicit) voting mechanisms: Q&A sites, collaborative news sites, click tracking etc.
** "Interestingness" requires work, since it is the result of an editorial process. This makes it slower, potentially tedious to establish.
** The latter could however feed into the former: items that are widely perceived as interesting
** To best accomplish this we could simplify the workflow of an editorial process.
* Many parties will already build browsers for data log archives, with varying ways of navigating such content.

== Requirements ==
== Addressing Schemes for Archives ==


* Need a shared addressing scheme that works across document browsers
* Need a shared addressing scheme that works across archives, archive browsers
** Based on permalinks
** Based on permalinks
** we can translate between different approaches
* Alternatively: need a method of translating between different addressing schemes
* Need ways to link/group individual messages
** Start with a review of link structures of a wide spectrum of archives
* Need ways to identify level of "interestingness" (e.g. voting, cf. Q&A sites)
* Should publish best practises for a good addressing scheme
* Need ways to annotate content (with text, links)
** Document and possibly share the structure of individual addressing schemes
* Contribution should be possible anonymously
** Publish recommendations for addressing schemes, terminology used: common conventions help
