Re: [uber_challenge] 2007

I can man a month, providing I pick it--it's got to be after my finals and before I move half-way around the world.

Or, you know, we can start in January anyway, and start soliciting volunteers once we run out of the ones we already have.

So...

Let's give it a week. If enough folks volunteer/want to participate,
I'm in for 2007. If not... well, it was a grand experiment. :)

Also, if it is a go, we have lots of good ideas to get us, and keep
us, motivated!

If we did do it again this year, what would you like to see changed? Any ideas about how to keep the momentum going througout the year? Would moderation help,...

I think that would help a lot, Jo. I think that because we are still 'new,' some of us are shy and don't want to start topics etc. But if there's someone...

I'll second what May said, and also add that we know some of you (like you, Jo!) have uber DEADLINES, for real, and we don't want to clog up your inbox with...
