Board Checkin: What do we think so far?

So, we're a skosh over two weeks in to the new board, and I'm wondering what you guys think so far?

Is this a keeper or do you like the Google Group better? Maybe something else? Anything you'd like to see different here?

One thing--as I promised, if we decide to keep making a go of this, I'll invest a bit of time to get RSS feeds for each area. To me that segmenting is potentially the biggest draw. The way I plan to do it would take just a bit of work, but I'm happy to do it if we like the board in general and want to carry on.

Consider this an open thread for ideas and a place to share your thoughts on what we ought to do next.

Thanks for visiting and sharing your brain with us all.

I have a really effective...

I have a really effective system set up for monitoring/reading e-mail based mailing lists, and like the "push" approach rather than having to regularly visit a website to keep up to date with forums. I subscribe to 40+ mailing lists/forums, and would never keep up to date with them all if I had to trawl through loads of websites. However I think out of all web-based forums I've seen, this is the most flexible and usable.

I'd like to see a setting somewhere to auto-subscribe to all threads, rather than on a thread-by-thread or forum-by-forum basis, so I can read all postings to all threads via my e-mail client. As long as the e-mails get sent out with sensible headers/subject so that my e-mail software can thread the messages, I'd be a happy man!

Neil

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
