There is lots of good information, insight and ideas within this thread. The problem is how do we make the majority of posters feel at home and find something that makes everyone happy? Additionally, how do we actually manage to execute ANY changes. The board to date has been open to all with total freedom except for the rarest of circumstances, even though change has been promised several times. We can post all we want about solving problems to the infrastructure and operations of the board, but we need to figure out how to cause and instil change. Postings do not seem to be enough to cause change. I agree with many of the ideas on this thread, and that the time has come to evolve from where we are now to a better organized and better run bard. I am just not sure how we actually make that happen? If I had my say, we would go with the first post in this thread posted by svpii and then work the bugs out from there.
