Hi,

I wonder if anyone ever thought of making a flow chart of a tek?

E.g something like this?
http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Examples

Stuff as much info in there. E.g. if you get yellow crystals then it would point you to the right procedure and differentiate what to do based on the solvents you used etc.

So maybe in a way the FAQ in a schematic flow chart. I'd do it myself but I am not knowledgeable to do it right.

Thats a good idea

Are you experienced with making flow charts? You can always make some attempt at it with whatever you do know about extractions, and others who are more experienced with extractions but less so with flow charts can give their feedback..

Do you use any specific software for it?

There's a nice online software for this if you don't have one yourself. I really like this idea (and maybe even an online version which guides you through the questions - similar to the survey).

I have a tiny little bit of experience with it. It connects to part of my education. Part of it was management. And part of that was to learn to make network plannings.

A network being a visual representation of the required sequence and the interdependency of the planned activities.

And activity is a part of the project that takes time and costs to accomplish.


- Activities that need ti be finished (precursosrs), before a next activity can start.
- Activities that can start after a previous activity has finished. (trailers)

And that is the basis of what these softwares do. They can be very complex, daunting task. Such a project needs to be available in the most common software. I suppose Visio by M$ and/or any format that most such programs can import.

Another extension of the idea is to create slide show presentations. Personally I believe teks need to be as accessible as possible so that anyone can get into them. In the cannabis scene they joke about overgrowing the government. A metaphor I guess for doing it so much and so often that it becomes un-prohibitable.

I know many people are scared that the Man will come and step on communities such as this, that we would be ants attracting the slow gaze of the government with its big foot to stomp us out of existence. I do not have such fears. If society needs psychoactive intervention to evolve, we need to take command.

Flow charts, presentations and new ways to communicate this information will surely help.

But I can't get white crystals just goo from my extractions and it seems stupid for me to be so audacious as to try and make a flow chart.
PS:We should use open source formats.
