    1. I suggest replacing your earlier 2011 brief post on dir's with this, BUT also impt to tease out any possible influences (even if in sep post, say something here too)
      surely as a blog reader you'd want to have an exemplar of each dir's work embedded, + the name hyperlinked to a Wiki or better?
