Just a quick thought - might it be worth having some sort of (opt-in or opt-out, of course) public listing of DM members? Not that there aren't enough social media platforms out there, but there is something to the Facebook/ning model of having a visible community.
Hi Matthew,
On the DM-L listinfo page at: http://listserv.uleth.ca/mailman/listinfo/dm-l
You can view archives but currently the subscriber list is only available to list admins.
This could be changed to allow list subscribers to view the roster, or indeed make it entirely public. I think we decided to err on the side of caution with respect to this rather than give people's email addresses up to lots of spam-bots. Is there any sort of general feeling that we should open the list membership roster to viewing by subscribed individuals? Membership is moderated, in that we try not to approve random looking email addresses or those that really look like spam-bots.
