If folks want an improved interface that does not sacrifice e-mail access, but makes web participation more viable I'd be glad to host the DDN list on http://groups.dowire.org
We'd still need a forum manager - I'd set the group to unmoderated (only members can post), moderate new members, and use our unique volume control setting to limit people to making 3 posts a day each (we normally use 2 which really diversifies participation on active forums). This is a much less taxing facilitation model. The nice thing about the GroupServer platform that I use (also at http://forums.e-democracy.org) is that it is GPL open source, evolving feature wise (for example it automatically resizes photos sent in via e-mail and only puts them on the web), and web feeds are native. I've recently figured out a way to take the feed and integrate the listing of my posts in the feed output on Facebook - more: http://blog.e-democracy.org/posts/179 Cheers, Steven Clift E-Democracy.Org _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@digitaldivide.net http://digitaldivide.net/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to digitaldivide-requ...@digitaldivide.net with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
