+ | * **[LMK]** is used for Landmark Papers | ||

+ | * **[FUT]** is used for mid-term to long-term ideas of what I may like to do as a profession in the future. | ||

+ | * **[FoAM2013]** was used to record any Transiency-related content. | ||

+ | One major phase of the project definition process was therefore to browse the eight notebooks I filled since June 2012 to gather any [FoAM2013]-labeled content. | ||

+ | * A **folder** called "FoAM 2013" filled up with PDFs to read, images, and other stuff. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All this material was classified together with the Paper Notebooks material. | ||

+ | ====Classification Phase==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Post-it Classification Phase=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some of this content was outdated, so I decided to operate a **first filtering step** at the root level, and gathered onto post-its only the topics which still seemed relevant to address in November 2013. This induced lack of traceability, | ||
+ | |||
+ | I started by just **accumulating post-its in a unordered way** during one browsing day. Ordering seems easier when you reached a kind of critical mass. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||

+ | From this critical mass emerged a first classification in three **categories**: | ||

+ | - **Language**: | ||
