Listing topics here as a sort of a 'to-do' list:

* What is CA? (and Discourse Analysis)
* What CA can teach you about understanding an interaction.
* Overview of how a medium's features can impact the shape of conversation and of its surrounding community. (This could spawn a number of sub-articles, each about a particular medium.)
* The public nature of public conversations: owned by all participants in one sense, owned by the person that can delete them in another. (The recent Xeni/Violet Blue foofaraw is a great example of 'soft' ownership conflict.)
* How conversations mediate commitments; examples from 'hunh' moments in email or lj conversations.

...that's probably too many already.
