Note: a copy of this message is going to the cohousing-L archives (not disributed over the list - too techy - and to 4 techy folks who have helped with the list over the years. This message ponders the creation of 3 new subsidiary lists of cohousing-L in "index mode" based on Peter Scott's Cohousing-L subject line search. http://nzpp.virtualave.net/coho/ The biggest limiting factor to participation in Cohousing-L is information overload. Currently most people use digest mode: 253 Non-digested Members of Cohousing-L 301 Digested Members of Cohousing-L I suspect that some people who cant keep up with all the messages in regular or digest mode (and respond by unsubscribing) might like to get less frequent, smaller, index mode messages that still give them an easy way to read selected messages. This would build on the main advantage of mailing lists - that the info come to the recipients attention in their mailbox without requiring much initiative from them. Automated messages to these lists would have an index of messages posted to cohousing-L for a just past block of time varying from 1 to 31 days - see charts below. No posting would be allowed to these lists (generally) other than the automated messages; instead replies would go to cohousing-L. Below are 2 mockups of a Cohousing-X1 message for June 1, 2001 made with Lynx (and Pine). Note that most recent messages are listed first. The references section is included as an design option I am considering. Just refering people to the web based index might be adequate. Integrating URLs with the index lines as in the second mockup is a possibility with a bit more programing. I dont know how to program this at this time but think it should be pretty straight forward. Peter? Summary charts of 3 proposed lists: cohousing-X1 daily cohousing-X9 every 9-11 days (except on 3/1 in non leap years) cohousing-XM monthly With corresponding subject search URL to generate an index. list name days/dates example URL to generate an index ------------ ----------- -------------------------------------------- Cohousing-X1 1 daily http://nzpp.virtualave.net/coho/search.pl?string=%222001.05.31%22 Cohousing-X9 9-11 1st, 10th, 20th http://nzpp.virtualave.net/coho/search.pl?string=%222001.05.0%3F%22 http://nzpp.virtualave.net/coho/search.pl?string=%222001.05.1%3F%22 http://nzpp.virtualave.net/coho/search.pl?string=%222001.05.2%3F%22+%222001.05.3%3F%22 cohousing-XM 30 1st of the month http://nzpp.virtualave.net/coho/search.pl?string=%222001.05%22 Mockups below.
