Undug After Soooooo Long
Hey, everyone...community creator here. I must apologize for my neglect of this community. I won't waste your time getting into specifics, but life intervened in one way or another. I aim to put my time into the community once again, in the hopes that we can get regular participation. If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions about taking the community in a given direction, I plan on setting up a post specifically for such a discussion.
At the moment, I prefer to keep the community open to anything pertaining to the discipline: book reviews/recommendations, article discussions, issues related to teaching and studying history, and of course history itself.
There are a couple of ideas I have for keeping content flowing, one of which is to ask for volunteers, between whom we'd divide responsibility for posting content once a month. It would be divided into regions. If enough people volunteer, we can further divide the responsibility by period. Though we may do some tweaking with the system (changing division of regions, for example), I'd like to see how much interest there is before doing anything more. This effort will generate steady content, and hopefully discussion, aside from "this day in history" posts and general member entries.
Proposed Regions
US & Canada (w/ Greenland)
Mexico
Central America & Caribbean
South America
Western Europe
Eastern Europe
Russia
North Africa & the Middle East (w/ Turkey)
Central Asia
SE Asia (w/ Indonesia)
South Asia
East Asia
Australia, New Zealand & Tazmania
Pacific Islands
I hope everyone is having a wonderful 2011!
