[At-Large] [NA-Discuss] [APAC-Discuss] Independent At-Large Website

Tue Jul 10 07:56:02 EDT 2007

Actually, this is not quite the way it will work but close ;)

How it will actually work is that you can send emails to the lists as  
you do now, and these will be viewable on the site forums; likewise,  
you can login to the site and respond to or create postings in the  
forums, and those will be delivered to the email list, as if they had  
been sent to the list directly.

Then, tags in pages will 'pick up' on subject lines of forum (also of  
course email list) postings and those, along with blog entries and  
responses which have content that the subject tags in the pages  
match, will show up as related content on the pages - with  
clickthrough at every point to allow the reader to delve into this  
dynamic content if they wish to read further.
