At the last meeting we used the chat function on this board, rather than posting in the thread. Although there was some dislike for the chat function, it was felt that it had not been given a fair chance with a bigger group of Geodecians involved.
Do we want to discuss using:
1. This thread 2. Chat option on this board
The other idea that was suggested at the last forum meeting was that we could move across to skype and have a group chat on that, this is dependent on everyone involved having skype.

I'm having very crappy 'net issues today so not sure how much I'll participate but in general the threaded discussions seem to work well. I don't have skype and don't think I ever will want to, especially just for the sake of one group

Hello Formio - I am also fine with the threaded discussions, but other people seem to find it confusing with different people responding at the same time, the discussion can become several discussions.

Not that it seems like that tonight, it is very quiet around here.

The meetings in SL seem more popular, but again this requires people to have SL and some people who would have attended couldn't get it to run.

The doubt the whole chat format issue will ever be completely resolved amongst such a large group. I think I ideally the chat would happen along with everything else on a purpous built community site. I was meaning to post this link to this project website for a few weeks now. www.tribewanted.com

www.tribewanted.comThere was a reality TV series on BBC 2 that accompanied the start of this project of the same name 'Tribe wanted'. I watch a few of them, they were kind of interesting, some kind of cross over to TGP but with more of an intent purpose from the start. However since TGP started gathering more on line I thought the website deserved another look as it links the people living on the island with those at home. Members can vote on stuff on line and therefore have a say in what is going on on the island. They can also post video messages for discussion and I guess they can chat too.
