Go Books Discussion
Keywords: Books & Publications
Discussion moved from Go Books. 2002-11-1: Harpreet: I would like to see the dictionaries restored to this page. "Tesuji Dictionary" etc. are Go books and should be linked from this page. I organized a lot of this page thinking of it as a place where you could come and do a text search as well as see other related books etc. A smaller dictionary page that you have to go to to find some books is not an interface improvement. All books should be linked here. I'll do it myself in a day or two unless there's some sensible objection (restored Harpreet's comment that started the whole discussion so that the discussion makes sense) Hu: Best first check with SAS who seems to have make the most versions of this page and may have an interest. I have a slight bias in favor of putting everything on this page. The bigger question is should this page be reserved for English language books and translations in English. I think that might be a good policy after reconsideration of a prior addition or two I made. Charles Matthews I created the dictionaries page, for a reason - which was to discuss the kind of top-down picture of go they give one. I didn't expect that page to detract in any way from this one. Has it? My own preference is for shorter pages. I'd suggest that go books in English (around 100 titles possible) is enough for one index page. There are certainly 1000 titles in Japanese, if you include out-of-print books such as some of the dictionaries. Harpreet: No it doesn't detract at all. I think it's sensible to have it but I think it's also sensible to link those pages from here. I think organization rather than raw length determines a text web page index's usefulness. If we keep a semantic organization I vote we keep linking from this page until it seems not useful or starts becoming a bad interface. I don't think it is there yet. I don't think it's usefulness has even peaked yet. SAS: I removed "Tesuji Dictionary" because there is no such book, as far as I know. (There is a tesuji dictionary by Fujisawa Hideyuki, but it has a Japanese title.) But I really don't think we should be listing Japanese books on the Go Books page anyway - there are too many of them, and they will eventually overwhelm the English books. Best to have a separate Japanese Go Books? page linked from Go Books. (In fact, I think a separate English Go Books? page may be good too - remove all books listings from Go Books and just use that page for general information about go books and links to other go-book-related pages.) Harpreet: Let's do this. Seems logical. Takes some page renaming though. Charles Should there be a 'Book' keyword? Dieter: Vote for the 'book' keyword.
