Clark, please don't think I've forgotten about you. The document you provided is loaded with information and it's my assertion that this far along in the recruiting process, it may become increasingly necessary to shift our attitudes towards our audience. Specifically, the people we are attracting at the margin may well be closer to early adopters than innovators. As such, I'd like to reorganize the abundant amount of information present to be a "cleaner" read. I say this not to put down what has been written, but to emphasize that the attention span of future participants may well be diminished.

Emma, there are two singingsites websites. The site Clark was referencing is projectpm.singingsites.com. This site contains logs of IRC chats, and a draft template of what the official Project PM website may look like. The singingsites Campbell spoke about last night is newswire.singingsites.com. This latter hosts a pre-alpha version of the software Campbell has been developing.

I thought I had copied the link for the singingsites web page and bookmarked it from last nights meeting but it appears I haven't. Can you give me the link please, Clark. Many thanks.

I attempted to add the background information document to the singingsites web page, but the formatting would not carry over and it was unreadable as a result.  Scott may have encountered the same problem.  I do not have time currently to learn how to do this--maybe someone else could post this material?  The General Background document was intended to replace the follow-up message to newcomers.

It also should go to the wiki, although we seem to have two wikis, one on the singingsites page and another freestanding one; which one will we be using?
