If you feel you have such a site, then email me at tane@zopegeeks.org. Tell me the name of the site, the URL, the focus of the site, and what you have done to make it an extraordinary Geeklog site.
A featured Site Of The Week is a great idea.
Also there's something to be said for
listing 'default,' out-of-the-box sites too. When I
started researching weblogs, content managers,
portals and such, I made pit stops at every site
reference every program offered. Some were
blah, some were whizzy, even though they might
have the same core software. A plain vanilla
install would still be interesting to guage and
assess a program.
Can you maybe put up a link page for all
the GeekLog users to post to? Oh, and maybe
link-check it every so often. I found the dead:live
reference link ratio to be 3:1 -- lots of links to
sites that had downloaded but weren't still using
and links to sites that weren't even hosted any
more.
Could you use a volunteer? I'm a
menace on a keyboard (I'm the principle reason
the term UI was coined), but I can offer to
help. I'm a writer/editor for the last decade or so,
but back in the 8-bit assembler days I
programmed and taught. For about two years I
worked in Unix (the 8-bit port called Zenix,
remember?). That's been twenty years ago so
I've forgotten a lot. It's a hobby now that I
picked back up a year or so ago. I'm rusty, but I
would like to offer service, if
needed.
Geez, I hope this wasn't too
forward. Silly yes, but I can live with that. Being
bold and rude, however, would not do.
