Formal knowledge has traditionally been transmitted through the
publication of documents in learned journals or in the form of books.
The grey literature, often in the form of typescripts, is difficult to
get hold off and eventually gets lost. Also, going through the formal
process of publishing is generally slow and may be limited to standard
types of papers. When pieces of work fail to be completed due to lack
of
time, and or resources, this knowledge just vanishes. Here, various
documents that have reached varying stages of completion are made
available. The internet now allows the dissemination of knowledge that
may be readily updated. The material presented is aimed at keen
observers of nature with a broad spectrum of interest as opposed to
career scientists.
