I think that would be a good idea.

Sorry guys, I never saw this thread.  Missed it, somehow.  

I think it's a great idea!  

In all cases a date should be on the top, in the same place for each
docuмent, that is it's known date of origin, and a second date that
represents its first date of being made public.  This is really important
because so many of these docs were hidden for months or even
years.  E.g. +Fellay's 4-12 Response to the Doctrinal Preamble of 9-11,
and Fr. Laisney's repulsive letter to Bp. Williamson of Jan. 2011, both
of which only recently were made public.

May I suggest a creative indexing plan, perhaps two different indexes,
because I have found it's very challenging to find docuмents based on
the kinds of things that I have to base my search on, for I often do
not recall who wrote it, what its title is, where it was written, to whom
it was addressed (if anyone!) or even WHEN it was written.  

One index should be chronological, that is, if the writings are not all
arranged chronologically to begin with.  I think it would be a good idea
to have a chrono basis, for that is a good way for us all to start noticing
patterns and responses that we did not notice before.

Remember in the O.J. trial, how the defense attorneys made a big deal
of MOCKING the "timeline" that the prosecution relied on so heavily?  
They mocked it because they had a great FEAR of it, knowing it was
powerful for the jury to use in convicting the accused, so their plan was
to MOCK it, to defend against its power, and their MOCKERY worked!  O.J.
was acquitted!  

Another index could be topical, and this could be rather intricate, for it
would contain mention of not only docuмents but maybe paragraph
numbers in which topics, facts, themes and concepts are contained.
So any one docuмent could be ID'd for several, perhaps dozens of
entries in the topical index.

Finally, an author/addressee/location index that lists the names of
persons and places to which each docuмent is from, to or written in.

What do you think?  

I made a mistake.  

In all cases a date should be on the top, in the same place for each
docuмent, that is it's known date of origin, and a second date that
represents its first date of being made public. This is really important
because so many of these docs were hidden for months or even
years. E.g. +Fellay's 4-12 Response to the Doctrinal Preamble of 9-11,
and Fr. Laisney's repulsive letter to Bp. Williamson of Jan. 2011, both
of which only recently were made public.

That was supposed to say "Fr. Niklaus Pfluger's repulsive letter to Bp. Williamson
of January 1st, 2011."

The linked thread's last post was only a week ago, so you can see how
it doesn't take much time for one's memory to get foggy on all these details.

The point is, a running topical index that members can post updates to would
make the study of this process a group project so everyone here on CI can
have a hand in helping to complete the task of taking notice -- notice that  
+Fellay et. al. really hopes we do not learn to take!!  

They don't want to be noticed doing these things.  

They want to be trusted, that they are "not doing these things."

Because while they claim they are not doing them, they continue to do them.
