FB is giving us trouble
- the flow has stopped
- the archives have been ransacked and destroyed
- control is arbitrary
and - there is a very small minority of members who have access
What do we really need?
I like the idea that conversations are available and searchable so we can look back to years ago and not reinvent the wheels
I think that people might choose to do private gossip in private spaces but that’s their business, not BrisLETS
A Members Area
I think that the members’ area needs to be official. so NO deletions, NO disrespect, stick to the facts and responsible moderation
I think that the member’s area needs to integrate with the newsletter
I think the member’s area needs to be password protected, entrance is via the CES site or Membership and password
I think that access to conversation needs to be offered when people sign up.
The Welcome message needs amending
I think the best way to get it running is to build it and invite people
Modifications are always possible
I think that BBPress might be the right plugin we could integrate more extensive systems if there was ever a need.
I think it might be useful to archive some of the files as a primer, and invite everyone and we can probably send every single person on the database an identity and a password
