The recent Gulf Wars brought out the fact  that Ansteorran artisans'
documentation could be better.  This is where most artisan's lost 
points in the competition.  The items/articles displayed were good, 
the documentation was good.  but the documentation could have been 
better.  Ideally, without judging the workmanship of the item, the 
documentation should be good enough to judge the article.  It would 
include how the article would have been made, how the artisan made 
it, what was different such as I used a modern tool that I bought 
instead of making the tool that would have been used, etc.

Once again, this is just speculation at this point, nothing has been 
put together, no consensus has been reached.  Just my (mis) 
conception of what we were dicussing.
