Dear all, since we have one week to present our contributions (the deadline is Jan 31) and considering that some of the topics are no piece of cake, I suggest that we start immediatly and use this list for discussions of each topic, in separate e-mail threads. <br>

Still, a separate list doesn't make sense............it takes a lot<br>
for many to follow just this one from the developing part of the<br>
world.........I like the interpretation for small lists and<br>
productivity but it doesn't answer the need for openness and<br>
accessibility.<br>

I wasn't arguing in favour of a closed group... just pointing out that newly-formed open groups almost always fail (it's not an IGC thing, it happens in all walks of life).<div><br>

Still, there was no need for a separate mailing list IMHO.<br>

There's a "Law of social networking" (of which the IGC lists are an example,<br>
and social networking has existed for at least 20 years before acquiring<br>
that sexy name) which says that if you spin off a separate discussion group<br>
it almost always dies. That's just a fact of life. Look at the [lack of]<br>
activity on the other three spun-off groups, for example.<br>
<br>
It requires a big commitment to make it work, which is one reason why small<br>
*closed* lists are the most successful - the people who want to discuss<br>
their business in private are demonstrating that commitment (to keeping<br>
their discussion closed).<br>
