Welcome!  This is an evolving process.

Here's some bits and scraps of what's happened so far to this strain:

MUTATE

    "I added Recently Active Processes, that's a classic.  I took off the strange "Ping" in the name of the step-- it's not even a ping, is it?!  The Recently Active Processes list doesn't respond. :/"

TRIM

    "OK I gave it a try!  It's a different trip, this trimming business!  I'm thinking it'd make sense to put in also a step saying to mutate the introduction at the top, since that's going to be copied now."

RECENTLY ACTIVE PROCESSES

http://brownbag.me:9001/p/Aj85QZI2wb - standard plain live loop style, i'm thinking of trying a copy in a google doc :)

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MUTATORS

“Make it clearer that you can copy into any collaborative editing software and that Etherpad's just a suggestion, since that's my idea is to take this strain to Google Docs next. :)”

MUTATE

“OK, I just clarified that you can use something other than an etherpad, and made a few other unimportant changes, some of which I think I might keep switching back and forth occasionally, w/e. :D”

ARCHIVE

TRIM

“At some point I'll have to start dumping boring parts of the OC too to keep the beginning short enough, hmm.  I guess this line will be pretty quick to go. ;)”

RECENTLY ACTIVE PROCESSES

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lxP2W3m0Pi8Aj8pKFMOn5TkUADJ1Ks4DzuctXn0hSG8/edit - well there’s a combo breaker! :o  this is a private google doc, and then i’m going to try out bringing it back to an etherpad to see if that works :o

[ MJ! ] SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MUTATORS

Please make some vague general suggestions of how this process could be improved, just to give the mutators some ideas.

	Hmm well I guess I’m going to try going back to an etherpad, so not aesthetic changes for now.  I guess also I’m leaving in Recently Active Processes at least for this generation.  So, hmm, bring in something useful, I suppose.  How about Minor Tweak?

[ MJ! ] MUTATE

Below should be another copy of this checklist.  Please attempt to improve that version of the checklist somehow, so future iterations of this process will be even more successful.  (These mutations will also be inherited by the children of this process, and depending on the success of this strain they might be copied many times, so you should maybe be a little bit careful what you write.)

OK, I found a copy of a Minor Tweak at http://pastebin.com/fWSj3JZD by googling “”minor tweak” “suggestions for the mutators”” :D


[ MJ! ] ARCHIVE

Please copy all of the current text of this document to a paste site such as http://pastebin.com and link here to this archive: http://pastebin.com/Udj5kV4k

YAY that pasting worked, so maybe it’ll work pasting into an etherpad too!

[ MJ! ] TRIM

Above should be one or more used, completed copies of this checklist.  Please trim out all or most of those versions (perhaps leaving just some brief quotes as mementos of what's happened in this strain's past) to make room for new iterations.

[ MJ! ] COPY

Please copy all of this text to a new collaboratively edited document (such as an etherpad -- at http://evolvingprocesses.wikidot.com/working-etherpad-servers there should be a list of servers to consider using).  Link to this document from that document, and that document from this document, to keep this family connected.  Now these two identical processes can both keep running from this point.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay :)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lxP2W3m0Pi8Aj8pKFMOn5TkUADJ1Ks4DzuctXn0hSG8/edit - same google doc’d process still going along! :)

[ MJ! ] LOOP

Below should be another copy of this checklist.  Please copy that whole clean checklist and paste it yet again below itself, so there's yet another copy for the next iteration to mutate.  Then continue following the steps of that next copy of the checklist again from the beginning, so that this process can continue in a gradually developing duplicating loop.

	I guess since the other copy successfully went to an etherpad maybe that’s where to develop the idea of going back and forth, and this thread could develop more as a google only process?  I want to make a private specialized personalized colorful one.

	I just changed some font sizes.  Oh, huh, and Minor Tweak is next.  I guess I’ll have to find something even more minor than that, hmm. ;)

[ MJ! ] MINOR TWEAK

Below should be another copy of this checklist.  Please make some tiny change to that version of the checklist, preferably to something that's been stuck the same for a while that you might not otherwise have thought to change.  Hopefully this will keep this family fresh and interesting!

	I took out the link to the etherpad servers list.
