The Sticky Thread Project

[Andy Glover]

I came up with this idea in the Welcoming Task Force thread, but I've decided to separate it from that as they are two different ideas.

I've been dreaming up a "Welcome to the South Pole Of The Moon!"sticky thread, which might include the following:

-an explanation of the Pogo Tribe and it's values (with links to Dan Brown's videos)
-Information on Tribal Leadership and Stages, the free tribal leadership audiobook, and similar materials.
-A buddy system, to link new members with someone that can help them get more involved
-Links to the Pogotoks and an explanation of the current major activites of the tribe (e.g. triadic cycles that Dan is currently orchestrating)
-Links to some of the independent projects that are running, namely ones that are fairly simple and easy to participate in, to encourage involvement in the tribe and a sense of community
-Link to the Frequently Asked Questions thread and the Help Pls forum

What does the tribe think of this idea? What else should be included? Who would like to help write out the individual sections of the thread?

I think we need to keep information to new members at a minimum. I know that we want them to get the full history of the tribe, but if we bombard them with information, they won't read it all, or any of it. I'm not saying this is a bad idea. I fully support this. I just think we need to make sure we only include the absolutely most important things in the post.

Chelsea, thanks for your reply. You bring up a good point: readability is very important. I think we need to find a healthy balance between just saying hello, and really making it a launchpad for people to get more involved.

I like the buddy system. I would be interested, and if you need someone to read something for teh audio book I have had history of doing that in the past

Tribal Leadership is a book about the concept that spawned the Pogo Tribe community. Dan is in contact with one of the authors, getting advice on how to guide our tribe.

You can find a link to the audiobook in my signature.

That thread kind of exists in the form of the FAQ I made.
