[Dialogue] Social process triangles

[Beret Griffith]

I am putting all the Social Process related 
emails in an email Social Process folder.

For quite a while I have been keeping email 
messages communicating bits of history in 
specific files, by subject. I bet others have 
too.  If there are accompanying documents as 
attachments I save those too. Never know what might be valuable in the future.

When my computer crashed a year and a half ago 
and all the files had to be reconstructed from 
saved data there were over 230,000 files of all 
sorts. I am now backed up with a server so feel 
confident all files will be recoverable unless 
the house and the server blow away.

Golden Pathways has many, many old documents on 
Social Analysis like the NSV lectures and the 
talks/papers on the theoretical basis for the 
social process, including one very old rendition 
of the triangles. We have a treasure trove and 
all the bits and pieces of remembering are great 
contributions to the body of archived work.

It would be great to have a Social Process 
Archive Task Force where folks could focus on the 
Social Process work and get on-site to spend time 
getting on top of all the original material.

Loving the stories...
