6. - I believe it has been mentioned in this thread; a Bitmark Forum. Would this be a good way forward, clearly linked from this thread? bitmark.co/forum ? It could be much better organised into Topics, Subject Areas, Groups et al?
I think this has come up before and one issue that was mentioned was the risk of isolating ourselves from the outside community. I definitely agree that it would be nice to have a forum though and that it would be much more organized.
I'm not sure there is an easy answer to the question of how we maximise our public outreach while still striving for the best intra-community communication we can.
Forum is definitely inevitable at some point either way. No question about that.
Yes, there could be some isolation - but is that a little inevitable, initially? Perhaps it's how we manage that to ensure inclusion.
I can only speak for myself, but there is such good project documentation @consolidation has produced via external links; that is where the 'meat n veg' is - this thread is, imho, at risk of becoming somewhere to receive the 'When is this coin going to be on an exchange' questions [flame suit on!] in spite of the extremely high quality of discussion.
I'm starting to feel that points 2 - 6 would all benefit from a Bitmark Discussion Platform where the existing community would come and to where newcomers would be directed?
