and my thinking has moved on from there a bit too:
1) Front page has to do a *much* better job at explaining 'what is
this place?'
2) Site as a whole has to do a *much* better job at explaining 'who
are these people?'
3) Site really needs to have a constant drumbeat of *user-appropriate*
calls to action:
i) If you're an anon user, register (and why)
ii) If you're not a listmember, join thelist
iii) If you're not a thechat member, join thechat
iv) If you *are* registered, write an article/make a comment
v) If you're registered, buy some swag
vi) If you're registered and a member of thechat/theforum: donate
vii) If you're a thechat member, find evolters near you (dopplr
integration? Google maps for sure)
viii) If you're a thechat member, find/organise a beervolt
(etc)
The example that hovers in front of me is the *exceptional* job
that barackobama.com did at this.
I'd also like a much better, much more strongly integrated, view of
what evolters do in other social networks/on their own blogs.
Community, Community, Community.
Because the brand value I think we have that's *different* from ALA
(etc) is that we are more collectivist, less "One guy and his/her
homies".
Cheers
