I do a different google doc for each round and different sub-folder for each season.When I paste them I paste w/o formatting and then I go back in and do stuff like put bullet or numbered lists, formatting the title and adding the author. Basically, make it legible enough to work with later more easily.So for example the top of each round looks like this in my archiving:My guess is once we are done doing this to all of them we can figure out the best way to post them (I don't mind taking point on that), but if someone else is willing to start the copy/paste/clean it'd be great. Right now I am trying to do one a day / four a week. If some one else joins the project they can start from the most recent and work backwards and if we get more than one person I will break them up and assign themAnd heck, if you want to do just one, that is one less that will need to be done.. . .Let me know and I'll add you to access to the Google drive and DM you about where to start.(My hope is that eventually we can go back through and pick some of the best post-entry commentary to also archive, but that is less important right now and so onerous as to endanger getting the main project done - so one thing at a time).</blockquote>
