I've been talking to Cal about this, and about how it might be getting close to the time where we reorganise the site a bit so that the underground is right at the front of the site and the rest is relegated to internal status. I'm not comfortable doing it until we've done the next big push in community self-management - which should be coming in the next few weeks (I know I say that a lot) - and which initially, I suspect, is going to really piss off a large number of people on the board.
Basically we're trying to move to a model which will make it easy for the people within a community to decide what kind of community it is. Gradually, and eventually, we're trying to find ways to extend the reach of the kind of distributed moderation we're using to other areas - and the first one of those will be identity maintenance on the board.
So anyway - it's going to have major bugs and flaws in it initially and we'll have to work around that until we're at a state where we think it's ready for the general public. Then we'll move everything around and I'll probably do a bit of a online community blitz to try and drag the community back into the limelight. I've very very intentionally kept the site a little hidden over the last year or so while we checked that everything we'd done so far was sustainable, and because it's more important to have a small functioning quality community than a malfunctioning massive one... |
