Hello all,
This list was started 9 years ago (next week!) with the express purpose
of supporting and encouraging the newer caller. An open forum where the
most basic of question was not only tolerated, but celebrated. We
succeeded in creating that community for many years, but lately, that
vision seems to have been lost along the way. It would be a shame to
lose that part of what made this group special.
It's possible that the original community of callers involved now have
another 9 years of experience under their belts and are moving on to more
advanced discussions. Same/similar group of members but with evolving
needs?
I'm a new member here, so am just speculating. I really appreciate the
existing level of detail and thoughtful discussion. It's been consistently
helpful and enlightening, and if there's something not applicable to my
current calling situation, I know where my "delete" key is.
So, let's start a discussion about the Purpose of the List and the
future of Shared Weight. Here are some thoughts
to consider:
A. Since there seems to be a split in the discussion, should we split
the list? On one side is experienced callers discussing master-level
details of calling, programming, teaching and history. On the other side
is the mentoring of newer callers who need help at the apprentice and
journeyman levels. We could start a
master-callers@sharedweight.**net<master-callers@sharedweight.net>list
quite easily. People could change their subscription based on their
interest.
I'm already following 2 lists, this one and trad-callers, and sometimes
the same discussion is running in parallel on both lists, which is complex
to follow. 3 would make it that much harder, though the increased
granularity of purpose might help the discussion threads stay sorted better.
C. How do we keep the experience of the list useful and relevant to the
most number of people at the widest range of
experience levels?
From your vantage point over there at the admin side of things, what sorts
of discussions seem to be at the far ends of the curve, either on the
too-basic or too-advanced end?
