Hi Robert, We can easily create a wiki or blog for you that you can do whatever you like with. We would appreciate that initiatives that are done in the ixDA name are kept under the ixda.org domain whether totally transparent or partially transparent.
If you want to completely open source this project and keep it organizationally agnostic, then totally go for it! Maybe UXNet might be the right angle to go for this, since this isn't directly about IxD the way you titled it anyway. BTW, we will be having a new board, larger, more energized and well fresher, being announced on Saturday the 9th at the conference, so by no means don't take the board's silence on this thread as anything other than well, We are 10' high buried under the conference right now and also don't want to take away too much thunder from the new board coming in. We don't want to leave them an inadvertant Somalia or anything like that. ;) -- dave On Jan 18, 2008 3:08 PM, Robert Hoekman, Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I do think that doing this as openly and transparently as possible > > would be in the spirit of this community. > > Glad to see some support from the board.
