Hi, we have a few twitter and identi.ca accounts that are more or less dormant:
http://identi.ca/group/nanonote (82 members) http://identi.ca/qihardware (153 subscribers, 17 groups) http://twitter.com/qihardware (312 followers, 22 lists) I am a big fan of twitter and identi.ca and facebook and others, but I see two practical problems for our accounts now: 1) Even though I asked a few people, nobody stepped up in maintaining these accounts for a number of months now. I am mostly active on the mailing list and in IRC, that's enough for me. 2) Even if someone would step up, we don't really have a center but more of a decentralized structure. So should anyone even be the 'spokesperson'? There are people like Werner, two Davids, kyak, Jane, Xiangfu and others (not even including Milkymist One now) who might as well speak (or not) for the project. So maybe the accounts should be turned into simple lists? Kind of like a twitter or identi.ca copyleft hardware planet? But who is interested in a combined stream of messages from copyleft hardware users? If I hear totally nothing on this, I will probably just delete the identi.ca and twitter accounts. It's hard because I am sure there are real people there who would love to stay in touch, and who will get disconnected if we are most active only on the mailing list or irc, but I feel no account is still better than a dormant account. That feels like a trap to me... Thanks for any feedback and suggestions, Cheers, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
