| Daily Voting News July 1, 2009: TN SoS still a dick, Internet Voting Redux, Ahmadinnerjacket gains |
 |
 As the continuation of John Gideon's valued creation, The Daily Voting News, nears its two-month anniversary, those of us who have been fortunate enough to carry on John's work are beginning to understand what will be necessary for its existence to continue into the indefinite future. At this point, we need to create a "budget" of the potential resources--volunteer time, computer resources, or direct financial donations--that can be devoted to continuing DVN. Please respond to our survey to help us determine how to proceed. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=INnvEWKH1D2YAsoK_... Be a good monkey!  Based on the responses we previously received from DVN subscribers, the resources we could expect would support a drastically minimized form of DVN, if it were able to continue at all.

I was thinking that he has the resources and you folks have wider-ranging research chops as well as your subscriber base. I realize that there would be a lot of issues to iron out, not the least of which would be how his site would give you the visible presence you would deserve regarding all the content you would be providing, and whether you would get the sort of recompense necessary to continue your work. He may be stretched a little thin as he is also supporting that whistleblower person. Perhaps he'd be open to your having a separate sub-blog on the site?

has been posted to Brad Blog for a few years now.
John Gideon used to spend many hours each day preparing the news, and now it takes a team of 3 to keep up with it. |
