There has been some confusion, I think, about the purpose of this blog. It was designed, as blogs can be, to be an authoritative communication vehicle out of WWDCS - it was not intended to be an interactive discussion forum. Yulexp can still be used for those more interactive discussions - or perhaps we need another unmoderated blog for that purpose.
It may be that a blog was the wrong medium to choose for this purpose given the fact that it was intended to be a one-way communication vehicle - if that is the case - we will investigate other communication vehicles and the blog will simply go away. In order to avoid confusion about the purpose - the ability to comment on this blog has been disabled.
At the same time we are looking at other ways to improve communication from WWDCS - beginning in February Randi McCray will be coordinating monthly expert user round-table meetings as a way to improve communication and encourage discussion - watch for information from Randi with dates/times, etc soon.
