Blogs: Common Channels & more

Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 02:57 AM

Common Channels is a service for encouraging activity within and amongst online groups. Your group is welcome to sign up for the channels for free. They are working out the details how to set this up on a case-by-case basis. Sign your group up to a channel by providing an email address with permission to send letters to your group. Then let us know the channels that you desire! Write to Andrius Kulikauskas, Minciu Sodas Laboratory.

* The start date, and if you care, the hour and time zone.
* How often do you wish to receive the letters? Once a week?
* What is the maximum number of items=encouragements that you would like in one letter? We suggest 10.
* Please give your name, and write a short explanation, one or two sentences, to explain to your group why you feel these encouragements are important for you. We will place this at the start of the letter.

We will include, at the end of our letter, a featured open question, along with a link for more information. The link will lead to an open investigation conducted at the Minciu Sodas laboratory, with sponsorship from an enterprise.

Our letters, and the encouragements they consist of, will always be in the public domain, and we will make them available for you to download and use as you wish.
