[P2P-F] P2PF issue based blogs

[Kevin Flanagan]

Hi Marco,

I take it you are probably a little frustrated with the pace at which the
site development has been moving. There are a number of reasons for this. I
was trying to take a lead on this before Christmas but I have had a lot of
work on since. There are 2 things we need to do as a community and that is
firstly to prepare a to do list with a schedule for testing and
implementing changes and secondly develop a budget for the crowfunding
campaign which we hope to do with Goteo.

The campaign needs to be done properly. At a time when we will have human
resources available to manage it. Michel has suggested that we do this in
August or September as he is busy until June and everyone will be on
holidays in July.

The editorial on the blog is already quite free, in fact we often have
difficulty achieving the 4 posts a day and so we really welcome you or
anyone else who would like to contribute to do so.

The plan for the redeveloped blog is that it will be multi-lingual with
thematic sections more like an online journal or magazine. We will also
host a forum where members of the community can create groups around
specialist interest, which we hope will be a source of interesting content
for the blog.

Perhaps the domain p2pf.net could be used so that the forum groups could
have their own subdomain?

I too would like this to move faster but we are all just volunteers here
and progress on this unfortunately comes second to our paying work.

Kevin
