the 'os' weblog

[Nancy Weatherhead]

Michael,

Having digested and read this thread and also having been in the
technological field for many years, I deeply appreciate the time, energy and
passion that has allowed you and your online community to hold and continue
to hold this 'placemat' for the OSList and for those to continue to follow
through with commitment and passion.  I can well imagine the time and effort
it would take to edit and sift through the wide variety of conversations I
have had the privilege of observing through the years of hovering and
learning from this amazing group of people who give freely and generously of
their time and energy to others.

As a relative newbie to this amazing group of people, I am grateful for this
holding of space on your part.

Mahalo,
Nancy

that book is a great book, harrison!  but it's the user's NON-GUIDE!  <grin>

and i hate to tell you that it was hours and hours of editing and
sifting through the overlapping threads that made it anything close to
readable!

what we have, i guess, somehow not made clear is that my partners and
i are doing just that, digesting all of what we find in the old
resources collection, the oslist, various invitations, and our own
experiences and weblogs and sifting that into something like 30-40
postings monthly.  that's what we've guessed could be read and
digested by the average blog reader.

as i told somebody earlier today, this is rather more like sipping or
tickling than the squishing and contraction and control that has been
alleged.

it's really all very good and will just keep getting moreso if it just
had some time to unfold.

we almost never solve all the issues by lunchtime on the first day,
and day two is usually a totally different quality altogether...

whenever is still the right time!

already lots of ways to "show up" and support this whole new site. 
and yes, more definitely in the works.
