HI FanofTV,

I think Don Joan will be ready fairly shortly to launch his new Fusion Reports Tables.

That can be done as soon as he thinks he is ready. They really look very good both from an aesthetic view and from a researcher's perspective.

However, I do have one request for the both of you. Please carefuly preserve the old fusion reports records, the entire historical archive and not just the final numbers in the old Fusion Reports archives. Why?

It now appears possible to reconstruct the complete details of some or all previous fusion cycles, provided that record is preserved. That info would not only be important as part of the encyclopedic goals of this wikia, but would enable additional insights into future fusion cycles, perhaps even speeding the critical binomial analyses that enable quickly forecasting the newly active dinos in each cycle. These methods only work when the suite of binomial hypotheses are both informed and well-designed, i.e. its both and art and a science.

Seems I have a little more up my sleeves.

The mechanics of the switch to the New Fusion Tables I leave up to the two of you, however I will be available all day to help in any way I can be useful. The most important thing is not to loose the historical fusion records as they progress thru time. If only the final numbers are preserved, we will loose all info about the previous cycles except these last two.

I will also post an identical mesage on Don's wall.
