Sorry, Kevin and I seem to have duelling mail settings so that when he replies to my list posts, the mail goes to me and not to the list... > Kevin Smith wrote: >>>> Perhaps someone could talk me through this one, please?

I think Qian's idea is that you may want to put out a call for help to the people in your roster (or potentially beyond, depending on the configuration of the PEP node). You may not have a blog and you may not want to use a service like Qunu, but instead tap into the expertise of your buddies (and interested others). >>> Now, >>> whether the answers should be public is another matter.

Perhaps I confused things by calling it "bleg".

Yes, it would be helpful for Qian to comment. Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
