Welcome aboard Jon!
I'm ready to second nominations for Ericka and Martin to help us get the
fire strong again.
I'm currently not in position to collaborate much time into this, you'll
be hearing me pop in every now and then, nowadays I'm particularly
interested in watching and helping in how we can get regrouped and
reorganized. I'd also love to help on the redesign area, but seems to be
beyond my volunteer time.
As an update for old-timers and intro to newcomers, I'm now doing a PhD
in Information Sciences at UNC Chapel Hill, and that demands more time
than anyone who's not been close witness to can imagine. In any case,
when I told my evolt.org story to my advisor he was very impressed, so
I'm thinking of how I can leverage this whole experience into my research.
I would suggest people who want to collaborate on this to go over the
evolt.org case study that Louis Rosenfeld did for his O'Reilly
Information Architecture book, you can probably find it at a nearby
library, the chapter appears on the second and third editions. I think
it's a good idea to look at that and think about what worked then, and
how we can improve on that to bring new life into our beloved community.
Regarding Dan, do you guys now he's now working strong in politics? Nice
way to leverage his natural leadership skills imo.
cheers
javier
