I tink what might be a better solution for it, or a different direction is to have a seminar with the data set designers and work on some of the high level problems that are encountered. Sort of take the seminar from a 101 level to a 401 level. That way only a few folks who really have some significant problem can attend and throw out their problem to the designers of the user community data set and try to resolve things that way.

This type of seminar may also help us to organize the user community from the top down, as it were, so that we can better provide the information that we do for the users themselves. I would also like to propose that any of the user community developers have a get together at Gen Con. I know not all of them are attending Gen Con, so we'll have to see about that as Gen Con gets closer. As Realm Works gets released I feel that there will be an even greater need for help to exist in the user community at all levels.

So lots to discuss.

I wanted to attend, but unfortunately Real Life interfered with my attendance. I for one still like the idea, but my time time to do any work with data sets has dropped dramatically over the last 4 months, where now I am spending maybe an hour or two a week tops, if I am lucky.

Is this still happening this Sunday?

have you guys considered Google hangouts? seems like it would be easier since no software would be needed other than a web browser.

Dawww...

I fear change.

I havent used google hangouts. I am open for anything really, if someone knows it and can lend a hand with getting it setup and such I would appreciate it. Not sure we coould set something up for this weeks, but we could also postpone this weeks if we are in the middle of a big change like that.

I would be available Friday evening to work on this if anyone can help out that soon. Just let me know.
