I definitely think there should be an informational page up as soon as possible. The discourse community is important but the website should not be depend on it imo.
Having bitmark.co to link to rather than a 43 page thread here is important I think. While the OP is great, some people might prefer a different format.
I should clarify that '
discourse' is community software, something we will use as our own discussion forum on bitmark.co
Do you all feel it is wise to give priority to the creation of an informational website at bitmark.co, as zadinga said 'to give us a face', adding in later our community software? Please confirm.
I do, yes.
Especially considering forking discourse and adding a completely new functionality based on a completely new invention(Marking) is a major project.
I actually had no idea that you intended(or were considering anyway) to launch the website fully complete with the fork of discourse included. In a vacuum of course having that part of the website fully functional at launch would be great, but in reality it's probably going to be a lot of time and work on your end as you know. And I think people are getting to the point where we would love to be able to just link people to bitmark.co, with or without a discussion area. Especially considering we already have this thread and IRC.
