is. and i'm not even part of the group that is ning-ing. i'm just
enjoying the breathless reporting!<br>
<br>
how about this, holger... tell me if this could work:<br>
<br>
you say you join groups and then get email updates. might it be possible
to create a group called "<st1:PersonName w:st="on">OSLIST</st1:PersonName>"?
then people could join the community there and join only that list/group and
get emails much as they currently get oslist mails? <br>
<br>
it might be valuable to create a "center" group called
"oslist" anyway. <br>
<br>
it reminds me that if you look across the landscape of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">chicago</st1:place></st1:City>, from the elevated trains, you see
all these church steeples. and from any station, you can see the nearest
church. when immigrants came to the city, they needed only to know which
stop to get off, and then go toward that church steeple, where they'd find
someone who spoke their language. "oslist" might be a good name
for any central conversation there in the new world. <grin><br>

unfortunately, systems are not that advanced. And OSList has no<br>
export/import function such as RSS feed functionality. Maybe somebody can<br>
code a solution but I doubt very much. You need to understand that<br>
activities at Ning are decentralized - as I am writing, there are already 15<br>
subgroups - a Swedish, a Dutch, a Portuguese, a Spanish, a German; groups<br>
about how to promote OS in corporations, about documenting dialogue, about<br>
pre-work, etc. Then, there are personal discussions, general comments etc.<br>
Even if it is technically possible, I don't see how this all can be<br>
summarized. In social media like Ning, you follow your passion and you just<br>
receive updates by email or RSS feed on issues you care about.<br>
<br>
It might be easier to export the OSList to Ning but I don't know yet how.<br>
<br>
So, do we have to live with the split, or is it tome for a change? In the<br>
last 24 hours, the Ning group by 100%; there are now 94 members, many who<br>
haven't been part of this list.<br>
<br>
Let us observe what happens next and then have a dialogue about which tool<br>
serves the community best.<br>
<br>
Daily email can be done - if people commit themselves, and I am happy to<br>
take turns; but not every day. Will open a new thread in a moment.<br>
<br>
Love,<br>
Holger<br>
