Yes, I'll just add that I LOVE this group exactly the way it is. In my work life, I'm in the middle of a three-year grant-funded project to study the ways that Communities of Learning, Inquiry and Practice (CLIPs) can enhance learning, strengthen capacity and nourish the rapid spread of innovation through supporting active and open exchange of ideas, questions and solutions among peers (people facing similar problems but from diverse backgrounds and sites). I have frequently used SharedWeight as an example of a virtual platform that functions exactly as it should -- friendly, accessible, fast-turn around time for "emergency" questions, but also opportunities for slower-paced reflection on the evolution of the work. I know of so many organizations that are struggling with exactly this question -- how to create online communities that people will actually make the time to use, and use respectfully. Kudos to Chris and Seth for hitting on the right idea at the right time, and thanks so much to all of you for your generosity in sharing such useful and timely advice!
