Hi Erik,
unfortunately, due to historic growth, this foundation-l also has
become a discussion list involving the wider movement. Moving the
discussion to a list which has received, iirc, two posts in it's
duration of existance will not further the discussion I'm afraid.
A fair point - but, if it's a good idea, be bold in getting people to
join! Putting it in the sitenotice on Meta for a while, for example,
should attract new subscribers. Announcing it on your blog, village
pumps and local mailing lists will as well.
Really, don't be coy about getting the word out. A social movement
depends on people sometimes stepping on a box and shouting. ;-)
I do think this is foundation related btw, but mainly
indirect :) The
foundation could mainly benefit such a council, since it should make
communicating with the wider community better possible then currently.
Absolutely true. But in this case, we are just one of multiple stakeholders. :-)
