The basic idea is to allow a space where more conversation can take place between a number of people on subjects that generate some interest on subnoto::indico. It really is meant to be a temporary space for conversations for folks who want to explore “offline” from the main pages.
Right now, I think it will work something like this: When there seems to be a locus of interest/activity around a subject, I’ll open up a forum for it. More conversation, file sharing, and activities can take place there in addition to whatever new content is posted on subnoto::indico. I’ll make it a point to provide links connecting the two throughout.
When that conversation runs its course and usage dies down, the forum serves as an archive for the extra content, views, discussion generated. Or not. If the forum is vibrant and becomes a resource, all the better!
You will notice a ‘Forum’ tab at the top of the page. I’ll figure out someway to use this page to provide a view ‘into’ what’s going on in the forum(s). It will also contain a link to get you there.
For now, here’s a link to the bare bones forum. (You can also get to it by typing http://forums.nk-e.com/ in your browser.) I’ve set up some empty categories, but I’m still sorting out details so all of that may change.
