Growing the community will not take place by (further) splitting
effort. Pitching in on existing efforts would achieve much more than
striking out alone (whatever the motivation for doing so).

Being on this mailing list, I see awesome ideas being discussed and awesome 
help going out from some truely awesome people, but as with any community, 
there are always those who disparage, berate, belittle, etc.
 
IMHO the Awesome Window Manager [AwesomeWM ;-)] would be much more awesome if 
there was more documentation, it was more user friendly, it was easier to find, 
etc, etc. This is best achieved by growing the community, which is best done 
through positive interaction. As such, I'd like to encourage everyone to 
remember to see the positives in everthing and everyone and to offer positive 
suggestions and encouragement. As the saying goes - If you don't have anything 
nice to say, don't say anything at all.
 

Kind regards

Hi!

I've now set up Coordino on http://help.awesomenia.org- It is a
community similar to StackOverflow.

Next is to reinstall awesomenia.org using Dokuwiki.

No offense, but this kind of thing happens in every community once in a while.
A (new) guy wants to create his own site, get everyone on it, and then claim 
it's the "ultimate community" thing.
Such things are only good for your ego (if you were even able to achieve it, 
which you're not), and is usually not actually helpful at all, as it only 
increases scattering of information, and is often not what we needed in the 
first place.

the fact is nobody says not to do it, it could be usefull, but don't
think of it like anithing "official" a blog is not a community is
onesided comunication with some comments.
it could be usefull if you publish your works with on your blog, but it
will be even more usefull if you put these things on the wiki

I think Stack Exchange style stuff are a lot more productive than forums.

Look. As I said I'm new to awsome. And this could be a way easier to
understand for people interested in switching to awesome..

All I want is to build a plattform, which is open to anyone, no matter
what knowleges they have. As long as they want to know more,
awesomnia.org is here to help.

A more general question from my side: where do you (by you I mean the
list recipients) talk about awesome? I rarely do, mostly with people I
already know (from the debian community). More technical questions find
their way to the mailing list. If awesome.naquadah.org had a forum

can't even help themselves in rather easy questions ;) Sorry,

Hello,

because you choose a blog-software I have to ask:
What kind of community do you have in mind?
What should be the aim for an seperated awesome-community?

I've started a project http://awesomenia.org - I'd like to make it the
number one community site for Awesome.

The reason why I'm asking for help is that I'm still learning myself.

Anyone interested?
