Ok, so the GotIDN experiment failed.
Everything I read, everything I hear, all the PM's suggest we were on to something.
Assuming the concept was right but the model wrong, then adapt to a new model.
There's also been lots of pearls of wisdom offered, loads of advice. Everyone has an opinion, everyone has hinde sight, everyone is standing up to tell us how it should have been and how we went wrong.
Is this BS?
Is it just a load people with nothing to do but offer advice.
Well let's see. We've heard all the talk, lets see who wants to walk the talk.
If you believed in the concept of a Multi-lingual International IDN forum, but with the issues addressed and lessons learnt, and you can walk the talk and not just spout the talk:
Then life could be breathed back into the corpse.
The basic structure:
1 strategic director responsible for the decision making. (no more decisions by commitee)
A team of partners with a vested interest because they have equal ownership in a Limited company and thus have a commitment to investing a minimum of 2 hours a day.
The team:
2 technical people who can manage a server and code PunBB
2 moderators for a focused language (language to be agreed)
2 moderators for a second focused language (language to be agreed)
2 people who can work on promotion, marketing and strategic initiatives
2 people to work on SEO
to achieve the goals, this is the minimum I believe is required.
(2 because they provide backup to one another)
If you can walk the talk, then email me at Webmaster[at]IDNplanet[dot]com for details of a forthcoming Skype conference call to debate and firm up the basics I have outlined above.
If you can't walk the talk, then stop spouting the talk.
I will reply back on this thread in 5 days from now detailing the feedback received and maybe even a re-launch date - either way this is going to be put to bed one way or another.
Lets see whether it is just BS, or whether all this talk has substance.
edit: to be clear. Any emails received will be kept confidential, and if come 5 days time enough replies have not been received, then those who have replied can expect their response to remain confidential.
