this looks like a nice site- one that has a designer on staff
[different than g-r.org!]

i guess i was thinking more of a blog, like slashdot or indymedia,
where only certain people can 'approve' stories for posting, but
everyone else can make accounts and make comments. this would help
build community, i think.

also, it might be helpful to think of what we want the website to do
first, then find the appropriate technology instead of choosing a
technology and then trying to fit what we want into that.

btw, my suggestions and participation in this project is based on the
ground that we can work out our differences through negotiation. i
have an opinion, sure; but am quite willing to listen to others, and
work together.

although i was thinking of making a pre-emptive strike against jamie's
critical resources ... [note: grim and sarcastic humor]
