As this is the first entry, I’d like to take a moment to note a few things on the to do list and perhaps others can remind me when they don’t get done: </p> <p> - Encourage people to stop posting questions about things that AREN’T related to the information page on which they post. <br /> - Encourage people to read the articles and use their heads before posting, for example on the <a href="http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/information/cost_of_living_in_spain/">Cost of Living</a> page, (not a real example) “how much do you think I need to make to be able to live in xyz-tiny-spanish-town-no-one’s-heard-of?” <br /> - Encourage people to take a chance and be heard. Yes, there are other people that can learn a lot from your experience moving to Spain! <br /> - Find some moderators who know their shit. <br /> - Stop watching so much World Cup and take it easy on the beer. My gut is growing. <br /> - Setup a Forum Policy page and post it right here, then make it sticky. <br /> - Encourage some of my expat friends to take a peek in here once in a while. <br /> - Last but certainly not least, make this forum into the community of nice, friendly expats I know it can be. </p> 2006-06-21T16:44:08+01:00 http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/forum/viewthread/1304/ http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/forum/viewthread/1304/#When:21:20:25Z <p>Hey all, </p> <p> It recently was suggested to me, directly via PM on the forum here, that a chat client would be a nice addition to the site. While that’s not something we’d thought about before, perhaps it’s a good idea anyway. <img src="http://www.spainexpat.com/images/smileys/wink.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="wink" style="border:0;" /> </p> <p> I wanted to open this up to others to see what you thought;<b> what are some features that you’d like to see added to SpainExpat?</b> </p> <p> Here are some of the other suggestions: </p> <p> - Spain News </p> <p> - Book Reviews &amp; Club </p> <p> - Shared photo galleries </p> <p> - Youtube or video sharing </p> <p> - Service reviews (service providers add their service to a listing, then you have an opportunity to review/rate them… imagine Telefonica’s!) </p> <p> - Wiki </p> <p> - Real estate listings </p> <p> - Job listings </p> <p> - General classifieds </p> <p> - Updated expat blog listings with latest posts </p> <p> - Public chat </p> <p> So yeah, post a reply to the topic with your ideas or suggestions. Feel free to be crazy and radical with them! </p> 2007-07-29T21:20:25+01:00
