I wouldn't want to hear the intro get any longer, with additional bits of 'encouragement'. Each contributor should probably make the point that it is a community resource that badly needs contributors. I have a problem which is a barrier to me producing more shows, which I suspect is also a barrier for those who have not yet contributed... I have previously done shows about things like database design related things, cross-compilation, Raspberry Pi related stuff. And although I have some other technical subjects lined up I always return to the same thoughts, which are; with 16,000 subscribers there are always going to be people listening who know far more than I do about the thing I'm talking about. I am sure this is also what makes it so difficult to find speakers for the couple of LUGs I go to. Mike -- Michael A.
