Once again, not insinuating that I would like to replace the thinktank, it's a great place for individuals to discuss ideas about our organizations. The idea of the directory/newsletter would be to get a hold of organizations directly, many of whom are not represented here because they do not wish to be part of these discussions. .godwin

As someone relatively new to the Think Tank list, I am finding it quite useful. While it is a relatively high volume of email, I would like to see this forum for discussion and support continue to exist. I think it is a valuable resource for the type of work that we are all working to achieve.
Cheers,Tegan

Hey folks, it's probably not a new idea but especially with upcoming information about Bike!Bike! I've been toying with the idea of starting a no-reply mailing list. There's a lot of logistics that we'd have to get worked out and it's something that I scarcely have time to administer but I wanted to get a general room temperature on this.
One idea that I had that might help us smooth out some other issues as well was to replace the content on bikecollectives.org with a sign up form for bike collectives (not touching the wiki of course). Bike collectives would sign up as an organization giving their general email address and location and possibly a few other details. We could talk about having a few administrators that could send out notices, likely at most one a month although probably much more rarely than that and in addition we could use the information to know more about our community at large. This would also open up the possibility of putting bikecollectives.org to better use.
My main concern is that, due to the nature of the think tank (long discussions, off-topic discussions, in-fighting) we are keeping many organizations in the dark about information that we would like them to know about.
I'd appreciate any feedback and possibly volunteers!
Thanks!.godwin
