Crowdfunding in the Spotlight: Update 7-15-11
The crowdfunding community will be featured in LiveJournal Spotlight, starting on Monday, July 18. Previously we discussed this in the planning post and schedule post. Now let's take a look at what we've accomplished so far, and what still needs attention...
Done
* Updated Profile page and Links sidebar for crowdfunding.
* Organized "featured crowdfunding type" posts for Monday-Saturday.
* Organized project posts. We have one live crowdfunding event and several project descriptions planned.
* Organized two discussion posts.
Needs Attention
* We have a possible volunteer for temporary maintainer/moderator work during the Spotlight.
* Post about a nonfiction crowdfunding project on Sunday. Someone please volunteer for this.
* More live crowdfunding projects would be helpful. This place should be rolling with eyeballs all week; take advantage of that!
* We need more discussion posts: open questions, Q&A, polls, etc. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday would especially benefit from this. Speak up if you're available.
* Update the 2011 Rose & Bay Awards landing page.
* Someone needs to do a post about the Rose & Bay Awards; volunteer(s) needed.
* Followup during July 25-31 to keep activity flowing. Does anyone have crowdfunding plans for that week?
I've gotten some excellent leads from people recommending someone else for an activity. Who are some of your favorite crowdfunding folks who you think might be interested in participating in Spotlight week festivities?
