That's part of the problem; they're not really sure. I think it might function as a newsletter in some scenarios, but with the ability to accept comments, where appropriate. In other scenarios, it might be used to seed ideas, with inline drawings / photographs, etc to really get over the message. The key I think is engagement. When Groklaw was at it height it was generating hundreds of responses to each article, with ideas flying thick and fast. I don't believe a mailing list (as suggested elsewhere) will work like that for people who aren't necessarily technical, whereas an active blog or Facebook type solution might, because of the multimedia element. As a bonus, it might also be useful to have the ability to collaborate on documents etc. I think we are looking for suggestions to see what might be the most attractive. Does anyone have any experience of Corporate Social Networks (linux based or otherwise)?
