[xmca] Improving XMCA as intellectual resource

Dear All--

Today some progress was made in taking next steps in increasing the
intellectual value of xmca along
lines discussed previously. We have obtained a small grant for some
programming help and the first
step in using it requires that we come up with a list of "key words" that
might turn up as themes that we
would want to link in the xmca archive that Etienne built a couple of months
back (we have not gone public
with that for fear of causing confusion but in essence it puts all xmca
notes in a single data base that includes
all the month-by-month files saved at xmca website; it will serve as the
meta base for the conceptual linking
facility now proposed).

So, please send to XMCA, not to me, your favorite terms and try to to
repeat, although repetition will be unavoidable
I suspect. Also, there will items that will need further development. For
example, the word "object" will need to be
tagged in some way to differentiate between "I OBJECT to engaging in this
activity" from "The Object of this activity
is to improve community intellectual resources" But later for that.

Here is a quick starter set by way of examples:

object
activity
action
operation
mediation
zpd=zoped=zone of proximal development
development
learning
identity
contradiction
power
gender
race
ethnicity
community
play
work
classroom
