I'd like a ERE Project Proposals (use a better name if you can think of one) forum, where ERE, ERE apprentices, and any of the rest of us can solicit contributors (of ideas and time) for various projects.
I'd also like one forum for each of ERE's apprentices (on the consent of both ERE and the apprentice) where we could follow progress, ask questions about what worked, what didn't, etc.
@Steve - Several have asked part of their info to remain secret, hence you'd only be getting half the story. Of course that would be the case on the blog too.
Not sure what to do about projects.
I would like to see an "ERE Journal" forum. I have seen this before on a fitness forum, where people actively pursuing a goal will create a single thread for themselves and update it regularly, and other people will chip in with suggestions or encouragement. I know that I would create an ERE Journal thread like this, starting with an in-depth introduction, and updating it every month with new projections, spending history, what I'm working on, and what I'm struggling with.
ERE, I perfectly understand re: the matter of privacy. Re: projects, I guess wait until someone here wants to advertise an ERE-centric project, and then let the project forum structure emerge on its own.
Thought of one other forum idea: a place to post and comment/discuss favorite ERE-centric direct quotations. I have one of yours that I'd like to post.
I don't know where it would fit, but a discussion on skills worth learning: gardening, bike/auto repair.
Also, maybe a section on quality, practical items that are good long term investments.
EDIT: @Jacob below: Sweet... looking forward to it.
