			<outline created="Mon, 29 Aug 2011 17:58:58 GMT" pgfnum="9096" text="I'm not suggesting that they develop it. Partner. The Times is a distribution channel. They already have a lot of smart readers and a smart website. Do more to bring the former into the latter. "></outline>
			<outline created="Mon, 29 Aug 2011 17:59:31 GMT" pgfnum="9097" text="They don't think in terms of opening the news process to their readers, which are imho their biggest asset. Bigger than the big minds they employ. And almost totally untapped as a resource for informing and advising each other. "></outline>

A major milestone for the Times. They've discovered that other smart people exist. (Sorry for the sarcasm.) Now go the next step and find a way to use more of what all thos smart people have to offer."></outline>
