I was planning on doing that myself (I didn’t because I’m moving to SF right now) and I still think it could be done better. I’m going to try.
BUT anyone who tries to rewrite the list should really consider previous list rewrites for absurdly good ideas and statement that they never would have thought of themselves. Condensing the really good ideas into a single well-explained whole is difficult and requires creative intelligence, but the odds of success are high. generating the really good ideas themselves is difficult, requires creative intelligence, but the odds of success is low. There are tons of absurdly valuable combinations of words that will never be collided with by anyone.
I think it’s worth noting that someone (not me) has already made a serious effort to rewrite The List.
