I'd like to propose that the RA discuss the issues of Events, Traffic and the maintenance of the Anzere infohub. I think we can hold this as a discussion item first (perhaps on these forums?) before members go away to develop proposals.
It's clear that there's some dissatisfaction being expressed on these forums at the lack of events and 'buzz' in the CDS at the moment. What can the RA do to help? Here are some thoughts for kicking around:
[list:1pkiptuv]1. Pay citizens to host events. The Lindens used to do this (along with a host of developer incentives which have now gone). Why not pay people L$500/event for hosting quizzes, games, discussions? A budget of L$4000/month would pay for a weekly event in Neufreistadt and Colonia Nova.
2. Set up a training programme for Events Organisers. The training would involve putting on larger-scale events in the CDS (like the wonderful Inaugural Ball we had for the 5th RA session) and provide the trainees with a highly marketable SL skill.
3. Establish a Commission on the Anzere infohub. There are a number of people who've expressed a desire to improve the Anzere infohub. A Commission would be one way to channel those energies. (BTW I am aware that it's not 'ours' per se but I'm sure we can find a way to capitalise on all the positive suggestions for improvement while acknowledging the good work that has already been done).[/list:u:1pkiptuv]Thoughts?
