How did you find your way here? --Brandon

I found this site while idly browsing Planet Debian, and some blog entry aggregated there mentioned the UniversalWikiEditButton effort. --Mike

love your thoughts!

Your thoughts on AboutUs are awesome! I need to read them again to see what I missed. I'm glad you wrote it! :-) TedErnst

Hey thanks, I'm glad. I hope it comes off more observational than critical. (Also, I'm sure that much of that might already be answered somewhere else on the site; that's why I've posted to my User page and not to a more "public" area. It's not supposed to be an "open letter" or call to action or anything.) :-) It's very sketchy now so feel free to point out where I need to embellish if you like. Wow, I just noticed I got a link from DailyBuzz too. (I guess that means I'll have to clean up soon...) — Mike^talk 23:19, 11 June 2007 (PDT)

Storyteller's Bazaar

Hello Datagrok,

Have you paid a visit to TheStorytellersBazaar yet? If not, please do. It's jam packed with all sorts of writing activities. Read some of the contributions and hopefully they will inspire you to contribute too. The more you contribute the better the site will become. Come and have a look and enjoy. Tanwir Shah

WhoWeAre

Hi,

I would just like to tell you about the WhoWeAre consensus poll. This is a unique opportunity for all community members to discuss and decide what AboutUs is and more importantly what role we, the community, plays.

The discussion is still in its initial stages and there are a handful of people involved in this discussion. But it's not enough. Every one of us has a stake in this process. We all need to air our views. Our opinions will make a difference. We cannot and must not let a handful of people define us. We must speak out and contribute because we are being defined and I for one would like to have a say in how I am being defined.

Please contribute to this really important project. Without you it cannot successfully create a good definition of who we are. Tanwir Shah

NewSkin Beta Preview

Hello Michael!

We've noticed your contributions and are glad to be on the AboutUs team with you! As an ActiveMember your energy and ideas determine our future direction. One way that ActiveMembers stay "in the loop" is to participate in the beta previews of large new changes to the site before they are generally released.

Today we're starting a limited beta preview of an earthy NewSkin intended to reflect the alive and growing AboutUs community. The NewSkin is designed to feel wholesome and connected with the real world. This choice was made to reassure the many folks who feel that the internet is a "scary place" where mean people hide behind fake identities and shout insults at each other. We hope that the NewSkin evokes our values in a way that helps visitors and members alike feel grounded in true community.

We'd love your help putting the NewSkin through its paces! To give it a whirl you'll need to be logged in. Once you are logged in, go to "my preferences" | "skin" and select "design". Don't forget to then click the "save" button! You can always go back to the current skin by selecting "aboutus" via the same steps.

Your feedback on the new look for aboutus will help ensure that it has a maximally positive impact when we roll it out. Thanks for being a valuable member of the community, we look forward to your feedback on the NewSkin page!

Warm Regards,
the DevelopmentTeam
