Here's my teaspoon of dirt to the muddy water: I visited metanet. It is beautiful and it looks and feels like open space.
The messages from Jimbo, Chris C. and others raise the critical issue of not excluding people for whom web-based conversation is more difficult. Harrison and Chris suggest keeping the current listserv and using metanet too, but I have concerns about splitting ourselves in two. egroups proponants suggest that egroups can do both at once. But I have to see it to know. Is it as lovely and open-spacey as metanet? I visited egroups but I didn't want to register for a group to see a sample conversation. Can Murli or someone set up a sample open space group on egroups like Harrison did on Metanet so we can try it out? Let's not rush the switch so we don't make a blunder with this superb listserv community. -Chris Weaver
