Edwart Tufte's popular Ask ET forum is being temporarily shut down while he crunches on his book.
I'm contemplating the merits of setting up a photo.net (OpenACS) server somewhere--it's the same thing he has--and see whether I can't convince a subset of the crowd to migrate over. It's a tricky adoption problem, and that's after I get it set up.
And assuming ET is interested in helping redirect traffic.
Unfortunately, the only volunteer I've found is offering a Windows server, and OpenACS seems to be less than stable on Windows.
Knowing what I do about online communities and adoption, I'm half-tempted to not bother. But I've found the fora serve a useful function for me, and it would be a shame to see it die off.
