you don't need a separate cf if you just freeze your items and enter stuff
you want to say.
I'm not sure a blog cf is the answer. When you enter a blog, it needs to be
in the cf it's most relevant to. I don't see blogs really flying, otherwise

Yes.
I'd not be entering text there though.

I wouldn't have any problem with it as long as it was constrained to one
conference.
However, I think it's unnecessary. You can freeze an item and get the
same effect. Or you can use LiveJournal, which is a far better tool for
running a blog. Running a one-person-only blog item on Grex is a bit
like pounding a nail with a screwdriver.

Hmm. Interesting. Want to think about it a little more but
I think this could be an interesting experiment and the rules for that
conference could be made clear to participants in the conference login
message.
I need to reread the charter/amendments/policy decisions tonight though
to see whether we would need to make any formal change to the grex bylaws
to do this.

Sure, a blog conference is a good idea.

I think it's a good idea. If you need another fairwitness, I'd be happy to
help.
I don't know that I'd enter an item, but I'd certainly be inclined to respond
to items others entered.

resp:8 I agree-- LiveJournal is mighty handy.
If a blog cf was created, there's nothing that doesn't say people
couldn't link a blog site to the cf and maybe post selections once in
a while. I don't know if this isn't superfluous, however.
I really think Grex can't be handled like a typical blog and a
conference can't be run like one. I could see a conference being
created discussing the ethical implications of running a blog maybe...
like, what things should you avoid posting about work so you don't get
fired (say if your boss happens to read it)? There might be debate on
how much information is too much... yadda yadda... and then people
might link their various blog sites. *shrug* I think that might be a
little more interesting and might suit Grex a little better. Your
mileage may vary, depending on maintenance schedule.

I think it is a good idea. I probably would even try to use it. There
are a lot of limitations with grex's software as gull points out. It is
a lot easier to keep a blog on a site with blogging software for
reasons other than just control over the item.

I was thinking about proposing a conference called "moderated" in which it
was made clear through initial posting and periodic reminders that the
conference had a moderator, not a fairwitness, and that the moderator would
and could use their powers to delete items. The conventions of the conf would
be that the user id that starts an item could email the fw from that id and
ask for an item to be removed.
No new staff burden, just a way for us to try out the policy for a while to
see if it made much difference. I'd be glad to "moderate" that conf.

I'd want a "moderated" conference to be on a separate filesystem, which
would prevent the possibility of linked items.
I don't read or write blogs, and am not sure how they'd work within
Picospan or Backtalk. It sounds like an interesting possibility.
