Okay, we had a really productive meeting this evening before the Food Ride. I took some minutes, not very good ones (sorry I was really tired/nervous and chatting nonsense). Firstly we ascertained what we wish to achieve, what our 'identity' is and the main bulk of content that we want to cover. We then discussed distribution, funds, donation and promotion. Sounds obvious and basic but it's important everyone involved is working from the same page (ha) and is happy with what our aims are. It was unanimously decided that the forum is not the place to discuss this; it gets too wordy, people poach ideas and we'll get trolled to death so I'l set up a mailing list and if you wish to be added just pm your email and I will forward the more detailed minutes to everyone.
We'll then decide the next meeting and start to weigh up strengths/skills/what we're lacking. It sounds like it's moving slow but trust me the beginning is always the hardest...once the ball is rolling, everyone can get on with their bit! We will have a team of co-editors (those wishing to help with design, layout and general admin) and then of course contributors. You can be either, both or neither.
Last thing I promise. Although I initiated this, in no way is it my project. This is 100% a joint product of West Midlands riders. There will be a different mediator and minute-taker at each meeting (there is an official project book to fill with ideas)...we sound way more organised than we are right now. Takes off mediator/minute-taker hat. Thankyou for everyone supporting this project! This thread is dead to me, pm please.
