Re: [design] question

although i'm obviously a very rare contributor to this discussion - i'll say the following:

is a list like this really intended to be viewed the way a blog is? i think that the options presented by being able to use real markup would be nice, and ideas might be communicated better, but is the intention to just push ideas out into the open?

i would say that there are already plenty of venues for doing that. a quality exchange is often based on at least some insulation.

if not, i suggest we hibernate the list.

many (but not all) of the lists i am on have become 'dormant'. most of the 'original content' is now on blogs. is this a paradigm shift, a new technological model for online communication?

hi Michael- yes, i guess this is what i am asking,
maybe the list should transmutate into a blog format
where more could post news/ideas with an image/link,
etc. Anand mentioned the possibility, previously,
and keeping the list running for no greater reason
than an open conduit for occasional chimings may be
better utilized in a blog format which would have a
web-interface, posting permissions, etc. it would
be a way to grow design-l beyond its original format
and if it is still relevant it would be a way to find
out why/howso. if not, then it would also die a natural
death of its own entropic winding down of ideas/time.
in any case, i myself would prefer moving to a blog.
