One of the reasons I haven't been more regular in keeping up this blog, is that I often don't have much to report on a day by day basis.  Most of the time, I'm working on creating links between subjects and gradually expanding existing pages. Every so often, one gets to a size big enough that I split off some part of it to its own page. New pages with new subjects are added less often.

However, there are various projects that I'm working on, and it may be more interesting to report on those various projects. At the moment, there are four of these.

The first I might call structural improvements to the knowledge base. There are a number of pages that have grown enough to split off new subdivisions, and I have put off several of these. Also, the site map is badly out of date, up to a year in some sections, and I need to get it current. In the future, my regular procedure for creating most new pages will also include creating links to them in the site map.

The second is recent history and current events. I have been going through 2010 and 2011 with successive passes, each time through linking a week to another nation, separating out connected events from the great mass, adding or revising a bit of summary, each pass extending another week. I'm pleased with the results and I want to continue.

The third is examination of social structure and change, with the topics I mentioned in my last post.  All these pages are being interconnected, and connected to more detail in the institutions and culture section, so that I can begin applying them to particular nations and peoples.

A fourth current project is the development of religion. Although most reported events are political, there are less reported religion and and quasi-religious developments which often underlie these. I am giving the religious developments a greater emphasis, and will include more of the political developments later.
