ok i'm going to open my giant mouth and "third" Mårten's question and ask why another google group for grasshopper because i've been around the software block a few times and i think these kinds of questions matter a great deal to the success of a technology or at least access to it...soooo i'd say life would not exist without redundancy but to some degree intelligence is a form of compression. this space (meaning the diffusion of grasshopper innovation and intelligence) is so new it somewhat frightens me to see another primary forum posited already. the density of the core forum/community still really really matters i think at this point.
...but i could be completely wrong, it's happened before, quite a lot really : ). HOWEVER david rutten is on here, if you're new to the space you wouldn't know how fantastically important it is that he is on this forum and how incredibly generous he is with his time and intelligence. frankly i'm sort of interested in how the forum can become even more dense by going partially physical... anyone live in/near portland, oregon so that we might throw back a refreshment every once in a while as a sort of local user group meeting? i mean that as an extension of this forum not in any way as a replacement. this forum as a central node for archived communications about the evolution of grasshopper seems essential. ...again i could be sort of contradicting myself here by discussing the idea of local user groups as well. but as far as online goes, i really like the "one forum + N-blogs" model, it seems smart. currently the only challenge seems to be the question of not being able to reference some older images and files. personally my solution is to try to "host whatever files i post" so as not to eat up space and preserve the links. great personal research blog though behrang, the sharing is most certainly appreciated and i for one certainly don't mean to be a wet blanket over any general enthusiasm! and in case you're wondering i am just another fish in this sea for sure so feel free to absolutely COMPLETELY ignore my opinion : ). b On May 6, 2:14 pm, Dimitrie <[email protected]> wrote: > i second that. > > On May 7, 12:00 am, Mårten <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi!
