Note on the media (4.00 / 4)

Given that all @eurotrib.com email addresses arrive to me, I got more than my fair share of media exposure and was almost the only ETer to be quoted in the media.

That may require some thought on how to correct, unless people think this is appropriate to let me have all the glory?

You could have "editors@eurotrib.com" (or whatever the primary contact address is) forward to all the front pagers.

you are the media you consume.

He could also have <username>@eurotrib.com forward to individual FPers and etg@eurotrib.com forward to all of us. But we are still not running ET on our own server, which is the problem.

Yes, no server and no staff. (none / 1)

Y'all did a great job on this project, but the associated comments show that the weakness arises in sustainability.

I repeat my proposal: I will subscribe $100 per month toward building an actual organization. Will anyone else do likewise?

If this were to happen on a sufficient scale, I still think that Migeru should be the first paid organizer/coordinator (initially, organizer; eventually, a coordinator). This is based on apparent interest, availability, expertise, and judgment.

My wife and I are eliminating broadcast television service this coming August. Why? Because everything that we need that might come from that source arrives in a better and more diverse and, yet, more focussed form via the internet. Might sound like we're 'behind the times', but the recognition of the relative roles of broadcast MSM vs. the internet is pertinent to this discussion. Let's be part of the process of overthrowing the MSM's influence.

Re: Note on the media (none / 1)

Yes, thanks.

I had some trouble with the cyrillic character set, but I think we have it sorted out. It should be up shortly.

You should also have a Bulgarian version in your in-tray

I put up the link to it below the ET site logo in advance.

Re: Note on the media (4.00 / 2)

The Bulgarian version is incomplete. Working on the Russian version now.
