Just so there is not any confusion, a handful of volunteers came forward to help gather information on the neighborhood e-mail lists tied to or connected to various neighborhood groups. There are a number of them out there and the reality is that people migrate to the list they think matters most. I need to follow through with those volunteers for a lead volunteer is still required.
Technically creating lists and generating both the membership and facilitation capacity are very different things. I encourage Thomas and others to work to build the e-lists in their neighborhood (whether it is hosted officially by a neighborhood or on minnesota.com, etc..) and then share their lessons. The Carag Forum e-mail list has about 50 members after two years <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. We figure that the only way to significantly grow the list would be to go door to door, explain the list, and gather their opt-in e-mail addresses.
