Yesterday, I made available a beta version of the new "Louisville History & Issues" discussion board. This will be an open, nonpartisan, democratic (small 'd') discussion board for discussing Louisville-related history and current issues. For too long, as many community issues (bridges, arenas, preservation, local news coverage, etc.) have festered, we have, in my humble opinion, gone without a sufficient online facility for discussing these issues.
I and my associate in this strictly non-commercial venture certainly have no interest in trying to replace any online or "offline" groups for discussion of such issues, but we hope this new board will augment the efforts of these groups. The main drive I have in starting this board is my love for my hometown, and because of those feelings, I want the very best for Louisville's present and future. A new web commons for the airing of our shared issues can only be a positive thing.
As far as what topic areas are covered, early participants will get the special opportunity to help me shape the names and topics of the various forums that will be included on the discussion board. I've already put together a first draft of my own choices, but feedback is very much welcome.
To join the mailing list for developments about this board (and also to get the web link to the board), send an email to
[email protected] -- all email addresses will be kept confidential as all notification emails will be sent to me with sendto addresses as "bcc".
Thanks,
Steve
