since we seem to have many of the same sort of discussion in various forms through time. perhaps it is time to formalize some of them into a website, ebook or printed volume. something titled something like 'conversations on design, design thinking and design research' could be compiled by formalizing several of the previous discussions, clarifying issues, and doing the question/answer/follow up/ response/ follow up/response limiting each issue somewhat, though new questions can be added later. people could pair off with interesting parties and knock out their perspectives on an issue in 3-4 months, then we could just compile them and publish them, perhaps sliding a few into some special issues of a journal and putting the rest into some sort of collection. thoughts?
