I hope you’ll understand that my life is going to be very 3rd Pea centric in the very near future.

I’ll definitely be a regular reader, and possibly feature on the odd occasion when I can get it together enough to write something coherent and interesting.

Best of luck with the coordination. You all have my admiration and respect.

Incidentally, I think Jacques is looking for some casual but paying programming and tech support work (as opposed to the grossly exploitative never-never basis on which i employ his services),

I’d just like my name to be out there if people are looking for a contract programmer / Wordpress guru.

while he contemplates moving interstate to finish his IT degree, having sadly piked out of LLB studies despite great intellectual promise.

1. Computer Science degree, thanksverymuch.

2. You all thought I was a great law student, after I left and you didn’t have to mark my exams.

I can highly recommend Jacques

1. Helen’s Missing Link was held back from the email system because it blocks anyone apart from Ken posting. I’ve added her to the list of approved posters. Could other editors please forward me their details please?

2. The subscription box 404 error has been fixed – it was set up under the old site, which had a slightly different scheme of arranging things.

It might have been delayed again for existing subscribers. I think that’s happened in the past. If it turns up in my inbox, I’ll let you know in the hope that might help identify the problem.

Niall’s problem is that he can’t sign up/subscribe to the service in the first place. I checked and you do indeed get a 4040 error when you try to do so. Presumably the database still works OK for existing subscribers, although the fact that you apparently didn’t receive this evening’s post (?) suggests otherwise.

Nice work, SL.

I’m really glad this is continuing. I quite understood Ken’s workload demands but it’s a fantastic feature and collaboration is certainly the way to go. Kudos to all.

Btw – Ken/Jacques – I got Ken’s email about the cessation on Monday (which is after the Troppo upgrade) but not this one. I came here via bloglines.

On the present draft roster, James is up next week, followed by myself then Darlene etc.

We would still welcome additional volunteers. Probably the ideal would be a strong team of 8.

Sharing access to my Google Reader subscription and shared editing access to draft Missing Link posts at Troppo achieves just about all the collaborative advantages we need for the present, I think. Nevertheless, I’m contemplating exploring the possibility of fortnightly editorial group online meetings, possibly using a Yahoo Chat voice room (if everyone has a headset mike). There could be real benefits from being able to “brainstorm” with each other verbally in real time.

A group of editors could compile and edit an issue under the supervision and guidance of Ken (who could do so in a hell of a lot less time).

I recomend pbwiki.com
