[resource-net] resource-net Digest, Vol 20, Issue 9

Sat Jun 21 19:46:43 CEST 2014

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for asking!

Isn't resource a space to share ideas, etc with people doing some kind
of digital work? Quite simple but also complicated. It looks like the
actual network is gelling over time.

I prefer the list to the website, just easier for me to follow (less
work, more impact).
Or course, meetings and events are the best way to find out what
people are doing.

I got the impression the website was to help people connect and to
promote our work. Does it work on the connection side for people using
it? Promotion - still seems difficult. Are there any numbers for
visitors? That would be important for me to know. We are all so busy
and putting info on another website......

At least this is what your questions bring to mind. Hope this helps!

All the best,

Diana

> thanks for the questions you post here. i think they are important and relevant. and from my experience this is already part of ongoing discussions in the different meetings and beyond them, like what tools and formats are working for discussion and exchange? how can we raise the visibility through platforms like tba or how to coordinate the different tools like mailinglist, round table meetings, etc? considering that the network consists of a heterogeneous group of project spaces, artists, curators, producers, students, guests and interested people there might not be a straight forward answer to your questions.
