We Can Work It Out - Going Forward - Preliminary Thoughts

Hi Everyone: (I was able to get this blog name (ronaldsf's suggestion) but we can always change it when we make our final determination)

I just wanted to check in with you all and say how much I, too, will miss rascal's blog. It will be a gaping hole in the David Fan blogging community. It certainly was a touchstone for me in my daily updates of David's career path.

HG and others have posted a great idea of a substitute blog and I think it has much merit. As you may already know HG & TOfan have their own blogs so we have experience in our group in setting up and running blogs.

I was thinking once we find out who is interested in the formation of such a blog we could then create a written business plan (I can quickly facilitate this--if it is ok with everyone)--detailing its purpose, who does what, the expense--which I believe is small in $$ but large in personal time--and set some ground rules so everyone who is vested is on the same page understanding the commitment and the purpose of the blog. That would give the nDers a solid foundation to make the jump as the purpose and rules are firmly set in everyone's mind and they could transition easily. It wouldn't be the same as rascal blog, of course, but we could make our goal to keep the same level of discussion and respect as we have had at nD.

I think we could make this work and we would want it to be inclusive of all the nDers, get their input, honor & blend their visions, as we have a diverse group who need to feel comfortable to make their voice heard as well as derive intellectual as well as emotional benefits from the substitute blog.

I was also thinking that on this substitute blog, we could even ask rascal if he, on occasion could give us a review of David's performances -- or we could have a tab devoted to rascal's reviews which he could post at his discretion. Just a thought.

I copied rascal on this as I don't want to step on his toes. We will miss you rascal, more than you can imagine!

I look forward to exploring this with HG and all of you. I can be the blog initiation wench and get things going and work in whatever capacity needed.
