Getting from five recommendations to four: bury social networking?

As it is up to the larger community to decide whether or not to actually implemt the recommendations or not, I think it is a good idea to pass this idea on to the community. Make notes about what the possible pitfalls might be. I don't think it is a good idea to drop a recommendation with great potential just because of the uper limit of 4 recommendation. Especially not as some Task Forces not has produced any recommendations at all, and the total amount of recommendations are less than initially hoped for.

Go for it. I'll link up a fifth observation if you set it up.

FloNight is already working on adapting it for "reader conversion".

But if you think it's a good idea, we can have a second version of the same proposal here, giving us five recommendations.

Or we could just post some kind of link to a single unified version.

Which makes more sense?

My preference is that it be endorsed by a group and not an individual. Community Health has so far not succeeded in coming to agreement on any proposals, so my preference is that (rather than being a recommendation of a single individual, as at community health where it is essentially just FloNight - and me by proxy), it be proposed by a task force. I think it carries more weight that way.

Sorry, Flo, for having you do it over there just to request that it be proposed here! Philippe

Got it. So to be clear, the community health task force will make five recommendations, which will include a cleaned up version of social networking. And we'll leave the reader conversion task force alone?

That would be acceptable to me.  :) If one of you would just add the new recommendation to the /recommendations page, or let me know what the page name is, I'll do it.

Done. Hopefully I haven't missed it anywhere else.

We propose social network project to "Expanding Content" task force

Let me move proposal to this task force.

I think it is reasonable to deal with social network features in one place.
