We already have a good deal of one-way communication, I think. Either
people are generaly happy with JFW, or they're not. If they're happy, why
would they fear HJ taking a more prominent role in a JFW devoted list? This
is not the only JFW users list in existence, so there will probably always
be two or three JFW users lists as long as people feel the need.

: : You will make a short announcement, like there is a new final version of

: : or something. There will then be a firestorm of questions and somebody,

what
: : you should have said in the first place.

: : First, myimpression is that H-J employees read this list, but no one is
: : officially responsible. It is like you want to use it and benefit from
it
: : but no one wants to get their hands really dirty. I think Nick's work
is
: : commendable, but you should be running your own list, officially
: monitoring
: : and responding to it, and being responsible for it. One H-J employee
: : recently told me he thought that many internet controversies might just
be
: a
: : tempest in a teapot, so to speak, my words, not his. Maybe so, but
maybe
: : not. H-J is trying to have it both ways with this list, use it but not
: : really be involved.
: :
: : I think you should go all the way, be official here, or start your own
: list,
: : and post often and in detail.

: : jf>Hi,
: : jf>I saw a few messages this morning suggesting that HJ come up with a
: : jf>method to provide information more frequently to people on this
: : jf>list and to our user base in general. Coincidentally, Wilson Craig
: : jf>and I had started discussing a very similar idea earlier this week.
: : jf>I've enjoyed following this list and corresponding with many of its
: : jf>members over the past 6 weeks or so and I hope to continue doing so
: : jf>as we move forward. I agree, however, that a more formal and
: : jf>periodic statement should also be provided.
: : jf>The thought we had was to create a TechTalk "column" that I would
: : jf>write on a frequent basis. We discussed a weekly posting but I
: : jf>think that can be a goal and we can actually hope for a few times
: : jf>per month. Topics can include everything from "Customizing JFW" to
: : jf>"Troubleshooting" and a variety of new and upcoming technologies
: : jf>and techniques.
: : jf>We will post the items to the HJ web site and to this list as they
: : jf>are completed.
: : jf>Please send any ideas you have for topics directly to me at my
