What are your thoughts about who should be writing abstracts for the book?

Kim,

Do you want to write some of the entries for this book? I do.
I just realized that if we write the annotated entries, we will get credit for "writing" as well as "editing," and since I plan to go up for promotion, I want this credit.
I propose that we both write a certain proportion of the entries. A rationale for doing that is that we can keep the abstracts more uniform.

I also propose that we invite certain individuals to write entries:
Michele Navarre, Linda Brender, Sandy Valensky, Sonia Feder-Lewis, and Karen Uehling. And anyone else you want to add. I want to name them in the proposal. If each one write 5 to 8 entries, that's a more substantial "writing" credit for a resume.

Number of entries in the book?
If there are 10 entries per section and five sections, that's 50. If there are 20 entries per section and 5 sections, that's 100. I am trying to imagine the number of entries in the book for the proposal. Just a ballpark figure. An estimate. What do you imagine?

We should choose the writers and the list should be short:
What do you think about this? I want to keep tight control over who writes the entries. I do not want to have to work with individuals I do not know on this. That means I would not want to put out an open invitaiton on the listserv

This is not something we talked about before. I'll post this comment on our ning to keep a record of it. Please let me know what you think. I'm open to your ideas, of course!
