I volunteer set up a blog, if that's the consensus. What do people
prefer blogpost or wordpress (or something entirely different)? <br>

This seems to be a good idea to me. Do you think a mailing list is<br>
best (should everyone get mail when something happens? What should<br>
the threshold for mail be: "service down", "working on it", "it's all<br>
up again")?<br>
<br>
What about a blog or <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://identi.ca"
target="_blank">identi.ca</a> stream? That way we could post more<br>
frequent updates, and only those interested need check - and could<br>
always subscribe to the rss feeds, and more frequent updates here<br>
would be less annoying to some people.<br>
<br>
For those that don't actively follow things on IRC, what would be<br>
useful to you?<br>

The current senior admins can see, but this specific thing was more of<br>
an exception with several travelers and me not yet quite added. And,<br>
rebooting is more complicated than it seems... as we figured out this<br>
morning.<br>
<br>
We'll keep trying to involve more people. I think the most important<br>
thing is to get known by the community.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for your ideas,<br>
