Morning RRT,
I realise I forgot to send this last night, I hope if
you were looking for new RRT debates you checked the forum or task list as
I remembered to add them there! Other announcements: We have added an
appendix - basically an area to have backing evidence for the debates - to
debatabase. This is mostly going to mean quotes and statistics that come up
in the main debate but in extended form so that they provide more context.
At the moment the only debate with appendix items added is a debate on the line
item veto in the US
<http://idebate.org/debatabase/debates/constitutional-governance/house-wants-line-item-veto-amendment>but
we will be adding it to many more over the next few weeks. Hopefully you
will also notice we have changed the style of debatabase a little which I
think makes it look much nicer than the rather garish Orange we had before!
Alex
