Ken was right, things HAVE slowed down, and I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing for right now. We ALL need a bit of a breather. But I still want you all to be thinking of other possible points which you think might/should be incorporated into a set of core values that we can decide upon before moving forward. I have been working most of the afternoon on a "mock web-site", not of the Showcase/contest site we plan on setting up to display the submissions, but more of a little scratch pad / note pad where "decided" things can be sort of "shelved" once we are finished with them as well as a place to put things that are currently under discussion and/or almost ready for voting or whatever. It's not interractive unfortunately, but at least everyone will have a place to refer to things and not have to try searching through all of the posts in the archive looking for somthing. It's nothing elaborate or fancy but it should be ready for posting in a few hours. Once it is up and ready for visitors, I'll post a note here. But, when I got to putting in a Statement of Purpose and our almost ready core values, I realized how MUCH we have accomplished. Not bad.
