Well guys, we've been open for about 2 weeks now, and I have seen a few new faces around the site, although names and logins are the only statistics I get to see.
In terms of progress, I did manage to post a new course up, Introducing Philosophy, a great resource, drawn from the “OpenLearn” program elsewhere on the web. As the days progress and I have some more time to spend here, I'll be posting more and more content.
In the future, I've got a few changes coming along. I plan on posting a newsletter with news and updates at least once every two weeks. When the summer comes along, I plan to introduce a rewards program for activity on the site, but I'm not too sure on specifics yet. I do know that the rewards program will take into account entries into the database, entries into the Library, post counts, course work completed and articles written. I'm not sure what the 'rewards' will be, but they will start as simple as extra roles and titles and perks within the site, perhaps advancing to freebies from the Order store with the amassing of points or something similar.
In terms of the site, itself, I'll be placing more starter posts up over the next two weeks. I also hope to post at least one new course in that time span. I'd really like some representatives of each religion to teach an introductory course about their own religion, intended for informational and not conversion purposes.
If you'd like to help, just throw up a message on the Volunteer forum, either in a new thread, or in reply to a thread I'll post (soon enough) with specifics. All authenticated users should have abilities to add to the databases or the library, and feel free to do so! If you'd like to teach on the site, “Teaching with the Order” may be a good place to start(left side of the page).
All in all, make your presence known on the site and I'll do my best to keep improving.
Blessed Be
Sam
