exercise_every_dayThere was enough interest in this that I would like a second round of feedback.
Do you think I should set it up like a beta exchange, where interested parties respond to a post with comments, and other parties contact the posters directly. I could set it up as a community members only post. For ficathons, we post our journal names, our contact e-mail, and restrictions and requirements for what we need and what we don't want. Actually, I think that will be the format for sign-ups no matter what.
My question is, would people prefer it to be a public list, where the participants contact one another, in which case, the sign-up comments would be open, or would people prefer that I act as mod and try to assign the best people to each other, in which case the signups would probably be screened comments again.
Actually, I guess there is no reason I couldn't make both options available.
What should be in the sign-up comment, aside from name and contact e-mail?
Also, I'd like to begin stressing that this is the internet, folks. We don't really know each other. One commenter said she'd love to get a text at 5:30am, which actually, I could do, because I get up at 4:15 am every day (nearly). But then the question becomes, is she comfortable giving me her number? Am I comfortable revealing mine? Just remember to be safe. Also, remember the comfort-level of your spouse or significant other! Darned RL relationships! :)
I'm not screening the comments on this discussion, so that people can play off each other's ideas.
