[BLUG] Fwd: Input sought on "The Ideal Bloomington Portal"

[Mark Krenz]

  Or how about this one:

  http://www.bloomingpedia.org/

  :-)  We just need as many people as possible to contribute and
specialize in areas of the information.  As we've seen so far, a few
people adding a bit of information once a week or so really adds up.
The one Jeff mentioned is neat though in that it agregates stuff
together.  But someone still has to generate the content somewhere
first.

  I actually went to this meeting and there were 11 people there from
many different professions.  It was interesting to hear other people's
perspectives from outside the technology field.  A few people there were
looking for something that would agregate stuff together, others wanted
more original content.
