Thanks to Simon for changing the forums around a little – essentially simplifying them.
Earlier in the week, after a very enjoyable evening with mook during which we’d had a great, wide ranging conversation including the exchange of strange theories.
Sitting down after mook left, we were having another tea. It struck us that the approach we’d had to the discussion boards was far too ordered – you just don’t walk up to someone and say, “hello, let’s have a conversation, and here are the things I was thinking we’d speak about”.
Those avenues would come from the flow of the conversation, and as the conversation spread to many areas, more people may join. The structure would come from need rather than imposition.
Looking back on it – we’d been thinking of the system, not the community. Great lesson to learn.
Wise words me thinks ….
