Askville: interaction
A rare non-political question on Askville. I asked it myself.
"Should the Askville Team have a regular weekly DB to discuss the state of the site with Askville users?"
Would that be a good thing for the site?
Regularly, once a week, one or more members of the Askville team could ask a question (maybe "How's it going?") and interact with Askville users in the DB. It wouldn't be a complaint forum as much as a chance for Askville users and the team to stay in direct communication and assess how things are going for the site in general. As it stands, management and users don't seem to interact very much!
More communication might also help avoid unpleasant surprises like the Askville 17 Massacre.
What do you think?
I agree that large-scale involvement in "problem" DBs by the Team would be ideal. But that would probably require more of a commitment from them than they are willing (or perhaps able) to give. A once-a-week chance to interact is about the most I think we can hope for. And who knows? If it goes well, it might encourage the Team to slowly expand their involvement with the community!
