There's been a disturbance in The Force that was unleashed when the Community Server Daily News went supernova. Community Server users everywhere are fighting to restore the balance of Community Server information power in the galaxy. Daily News-like publications are rising up from the ashes to fill the void. As for this citizen's contribution to the service of the Alliance to Restore the Information Republic, I give you...Community Server Bits!
Each composite issue will be a CS Byte, a collection of CS Bits. Unlike the DN, I won't be getting paid to do this and there are only so many hours in a day. I don't know how often we're going to publish, how long our run will be or what we're going to end up with, but we're going to start with a recurring post that will look much like the Community Server Daily News as you can see in the first issue.
I always enjoyed compiling the day's Community Server news and reference points, I enjoyed reading it when I was done and learning from the expertise of others in the community. I also believe in the List Blog model, a lot, where each Community Server information bit is individually tagged, searchable and reference-able with its own permalink. Added to those functions, new syndication, aggregation and reporting capabilites make it a model with interesting potential. I want to see what that potential might be, and that can only come with feeding and nurturing, which is where CS Bits come in. I'll have info on a new CS Bits blog (currently the DN List Blog) when I work through the details. Creating the composite CS Byte posts will be of value to both me and the community, but my primary driver is building CS Bits. That and I'm a Community Server maniac.
