I'd be willing to give it a go. I would download the Pligg 1.0 and
then
what?
No downloads needed. I would set it up on a site and manage it for us,
you will only need to contribute links and vote on contributions.
Here's what I have done to get us going: I signed up at Slinkset which
is a service that provides Digg-like capabilities for custom use. I
also set it up to auto-import blog posts to Doug and Michael's blogs.
See: http://left.slinkset.com/
Note that this is not Pligg. If we like this service, we can keep it,
else I can setup a Pligg instance based on how well this experiment
succeeds. I can also register and add a custom domain to either this
service (Slinkset) or to my Pligg instance if that's the way we choose
to go. I will need suggestions for a domain name (keep in mind that
simple domain names are gone, but we may still find some interesting
possibilities with the recently announced .me domain: enlighten.me
perhaps? ;-)).
Aarok Stark mentioned that someone in Z Mag was attempting something
similar. If you have more info please let me know. I would rather not
duplicate and split work already underway.

All,
if you do not know what Digg is, it’s a site where people submit
links to
web pages (often news articles) and others vote these links up or
down.
Visiting Digg will let you view links sorted and filtered using
criteria of
your preference.
There is an open source implementation of the Digg idea called
Pligg. A few
years ago, I proposed that I set up a "Pligg" that caters to our
interests.
All of you can post links to news and blogs you think would be of
interest
and the rest can vote on them. Crowd-sourcing and all that rot ;-).
At the time of my proposal, there were few takers, but now that
even our
host is a blogger, and tech comfort and interest might have
increased, it's
time to reissue my call for interest. Would you find such a service
useful?
A means to both get to know news and analysis and to filter it
using the
collective wisdom of your comrades.
See Digg here: http://digg.com/
Learn about Pligg here: http://www.pligg.com/
For the project to be useful, we need a small set that is committed
to
adding links (though I can hopefully auto-create links to known
blogs like
Doug's, M.Perelman's, etc), and a larger group that will not
infrequently
vote on subsets of links.
