{Cafe_Improvements_and_Feedback.5.543}: James River Martin {rivertree} Thu, 19 Apr 2007 12:47:37 EDT (33 lines) Do we have anyone at the moment who is acting as "Cafe Manager"? I'd like to ask a question of all in the Cafe.: Should the Cafe implement a new forum (or sub-forum) titled "The Great Outdoors"? It would be a general forum or sub-forum on all sorts of outdoor recreational activities, camping, canoeing, backpacking, horseback riding, mountaineering, bicycling, etc.... Here, we could discuss techniques, skills, equipment, know-how, places/locations, stories of our journeys and experiences, etc.... Were it to be a sub-forum, it could fit in a number of places, such as in {Sports} or in {Nature_and_Environment}. It should be pointed out that neither of these two existing forums are a perfect or ideal fit, unless a sub-forum were created. This is so because N&E is devoted -- in its sub-title -- to socio-political issues and activism, not to recreation, while {Sports} is devoted mostly to competitive team sports and non-trem competitive sports like golf. Outdoor recreational activities, on the other hand, are typically very non-competitive, and more recreational. Some background on this discussion can be found in {Sports.220.1-}. I think it would be good if we could announce to the wider Cafe community that a discussion of this proposal is underway, and provide a space for all to offer input. ================================================================== {Sports.220.16-}: River: I might do that, but I'd like to find out what people in the Cafe think of forming a new "Great Outdoors" forum, first. I'm at least 51% decided that having a "Great Outdoors" forum would be the better choice between these two. What do you think?
