Grex Town Hall -- How do we move forward? - Fall, 2010 Mark Unseen   Sep 26 04:13 UTC 2010

This item is for capturing opinions and ideas about how Grex can move
forward, what Grex can do to encourage more people to use the system,
and what we want Grex to provide in terms of services or applications.

Of course, it might be nice were it linked back to coop.

Yes, this item was meant for agora (at the Board's request).  We wanted
to capture ideas for improving Grex on an on-going basis.  Of course,
people tend to use the item for announcements and off-topic questions,
but that's par for the course around here.  The idea of putting this
item in agora was to get it wider exposure, since most users don't read
the coop cf.

As to linking to coop, that can be done (and has: see coop item 284) if
we want to collect ideas in a place where they won't disappear with the
changing seasons (actually they don't disappear but they become harder
to find).

If you'd like to see what the previous Town Hall item was about, see
coop item 278 or the previous agora (summer item 6).  There are a lot of
discussions and ideas there.  If you'd like to continue them, feel free.
Old coop items are also good for ideas if you'd like to resurrect them
here.  You'll find that many of the current ideas have been discussed
for years and years already (with the same results).

What Grex needs to do is move beyond the discussion phase, choose some
reasonable ideas, and start implementing them.  As I've said before,
many ideas which have been proposed to date are ones we can try and then
remove or modify, if they don't work as expected.  So, keep an open
mind.

Email would be more usable if grex would dump any mails with Subject:
=?koi8-r.  At least 90% of spams recently are from Russia, and it would save
a lot of disk space not to be storing them in multiple mail accounts.  I do
get Russian mails from real people, with real subject lines, never this one.

the web page needs to be more interactive.  web email. web chat .etc 
Need to face the fact that only minimal users now access grex in any
other way.
