Carnival of… Solutions?
When I saw the link to Carnival of Solutions over at Dean’s, I was thinking “interesting name for a tech blogging roundup.”
That’s not what it turned out to be. Will it fly? Looks like the idea is each week Pennywit lays out a problem, which you’ll see a fine example of in this launch post, and the submissions will be solutions proposed for that problem. Intriguing use of the power of blogs, no? Here is the closing synopsis and submission info that explains what CoS is about:
This forms the basis of this week’s Problem.
Given: A person who has been convicted of a crime and imprisoned for a period of several years has been set back significantly, both in terms of lost wages and in terms of lost years.
The Problem:How should such individuals be compensated for their wrongful imprisonment? What factors should be taken into account in setting such damages? What venues and procedures are appropriate for handling these claims?
If you have a Solution, please write it on your blog and e-mail a link to me. The best Solutions will be linked to from a new post on Thursday.
The Ground Rules are as follows:
1. Please confine your Solution to the problem.
2. You Solution should be at least 500 words long and explore the Problem thoroughly.
3. Please make your Solution original, and/or creative.
Why be part of the precipitate when solutions abound?
