Hi Karthik, I very much agree that we should have blogs that reflect our thought process or various ideas. I prefer to have them in a blog site and the link to be given here. That way we can keep the website space free for our activities/reports.
Let us create one blog in the name of the group (I think it is already created) and the username/password details will be mailed offline to the interested members who wish to write blogs (related to our activities and social work). Well, coming to feedback, this is not to argue but to project my views more clearly. I do not fear of negative feedback. Even the positive feedback like 'very good', 'excellent' etc., would motivate me. As Suresh mentioned, we are anyways motivated. Why we should mail to the people from the feedback section and then invite them to be our members based on their intention? Anyway we are giving link to join to the group. If someone are really serious enough, they will definitely subscribe. Why invite casual people? Our group strengths shows the count as '149'. Where are these people? We get 50 to 70 people if we count based on their support or donation or participation in the meeting/mails. What about the other members? What is the use? If someone gets really impressed and wanted to give us feedback/suggestion/advice or whatever, they can fill the feedback section details and mail us and it is not hidden anyway and will be mailed to the whole group. So everyone of us see can go through the comments and we (one person who will be given this role to respond to feedback/comments on behalf of the group) can respond to particular persons. Also I do not want our site to be dynamic. Let it be static only with the latest/up-to-date data. We will update the site on a daily basis based on the need. Again, this is my personal opinion as a member. If everyone wants to have a feedback section to be displayed with comments, I have no issues.

However, if an in-house expert like Krishna says things can be taken care of, why not! I agree, the feedback is generally "Good", "Great work!", "Impossible! ", or "I want to make friendship.. .", etc. However, excepting the last part that's generally "useless", the remaining shall give us some public exposure and "outside view". The public exposure that we get through the feedback is not on a scale that we need to consider the question "To go public or no?" but at the same time, it's something! Who knows, we may get more like minds at work through this. > > If the website building team can take care of spam (I assure you, there's a lots of it!), that's fine, or I request Krishna gaaru to present some ways of curbing the same. > > NaChaKi >
