I will certainly not oppose it, but I do not believe such a thing will last. We have started several projects on this list in the past, and none of them survived. The Week in Review died after about a year, and as such holds the record for longest running project. Let's see what we else we had. Marco Maisenhelder once started an experiment in story writing. It died. Recently someone else started a similar project here -- I have not heard anything about it since. The Brin-L Weblog (useful URLs collected and grouped) -- dead. Kat and Gord's on-line role-playing game "Stellar Region" -- dead. Brin-L 5th Anniversary Party -- despite all the talk about it, it never took place. Lurker's Guide to David Brin: only one novel finished, review of second book (Glory Season) started but no activity on this in the last six months or so. Nice idea, this "Post of the Week" thing, but given earlier experiences, I doubt it will last.
