Hi Scott,
Not off topic at all. We're right in the middle of a planning stage for WSG and will be making some announcements soon.
Yes we have discussed a forum, but have agreed that it will not fulfil the purpose as questions won't get answered with the same speed. I am on many fora and only ever go to them when I have a problem, then I get in and out without answering others questions. We don't want that to happen here, but we are looking at some passive solutions.
Tim mentioned an NNTP (news) in the last 24 hours but this is not likely to
happen I'm afraid. Integrating the list and an nntp server isn't that simple
(with the server software I have available) and the list is (and will
remain) the primary method of active communication for this community. I'll
look at the IIS NNTP thingie again soon and see if I can get it working as a
read-only newsfeed. Don't hold your breath though.
We are currently testing an RSS feed of the list (obviously read only) with
all email addresses (loudly) hidden but threading is still an issue with RSS
2.0. It also links to the members section so a login is required if you
don't read it within the blog reader.
We are looking at Atom as well and this should allow threading (I believe) but I haven't done it yet.
While we're on the subject (although it's over a week old now) http://nick.typepad.com/blog/2004/03/dave_winer_merg.html (Doh! Just let it go Dave...)
Stay tuned for more on the WSG site rebuild soon.
Regards,
Peter
