A place to discuss issues about local relevance for imc oxford. In particular, what criteria do we use to decide a post should stay in the oxford newswire or be hidden from it? Please add details of previous discussions and/or your current thoughts.
Discussion mid-March 2004
O: hid some posts including undercurrents ESF thing
V: undercurrents shouldn't be hid, they are oxford-based, and reporting on
events in which oxford people are involved (ESF)
E: agree with both. ESF is important + relevant, but these are empty posts
(upload problems), also undercurrents shouldn't assume special treatment.
R: agree with V
H: agree with V, though in this case posts are empty so should be hid
O: link needs to be obvious or things get cliquey; what can we do to encourage this?
E: take O's point. In practise can be difficult to gauge pre-existing knowledge. importance of good english.
