This is with regard to the Global Valley Community Cooperative ISP.
Hopefully a project which is moulded by the people that will use it,
rather than the like it or lump it of national suppliers (BT, Freeserve
etc.) At HebWeb we have a forum that this moulding process might take
place.
I have been made aware that the digital forum at hebweb is somewhat
judicious in what it posts to the website. Chris Radcliffe of HebWeb is
on this list, let me acknowledge it is an understandable policy.
Any posting mentioning an alternative form of communication to HebWeb's
forum I believe, is not posted. I.E. the internet relay chat room
#DigitalHebden is not mentioned, neither was a suggestion for a yahoo
groups mailing list for GVCC (communications different in style and
delivery to a moderated forum.)
Can we gently cajole and reassure Chris that a transparent policy would
be more in the net ethos. I would respect a policy of not publishing
anything that in the editors opinion undermines HebWeb's role as a Hub,
*if* it was stated and we can see that the postings have an editorial
slant.
What have people seen work well in a moderated forum? I have seen
postings edited and omitted but with it obvious this has been done.
Post comments to the wireless group not to Chris (who is in the
wireless list), ta.
Robert
For those people in addition to the wireless group I have addressed:
the wireless group have complementary ambitions to GVCC, to join the
wireless discussion:
