Dear ADMIN - is ADMIN elected? When? By Who? Who is the administrator?
The TITLE ADMIN gives you some power over us regular folk. Like your comments are from the President. Is your name BUSH?

As previously stated re the whole Sen Gravel for president business, we need a "front page" which has some real information on it. I suggested a front page which looks like a greeting with some links to meaningful sites picked by WDDM members and Gravel would have been appropriate. That all fell through.

We can not sanction or endorse any site or candidate but we can choose to post appropriate links. This was never done, and Sen Gravels DD Initiative is not prominently displayed by WDDM. That is also what is needed with this my verdict site.

To expect people to follow links to links to links is a bit much. It is difficult to find members pages as well. One page with categories may help a bit. Yes I know there is one, but to find it takes much time and lots of luck. I suspect most of the members do not know it exists. Categorizes could be on our front welcome page, a banner on the left side.

There was a brief query for someone to "make a page" but that was lost with other "ideas"
I suggest we have a page of "Initiatives" and needed help descriptions so people could volunteer. I think others believe the management owns WDDM and nobody messes with it.
This is of course a false idea, but lacking any discussion it persists. We need to speak specifically of what we need for this WDDM community. Direct Democracy? If people can not speak directly for fear of "the powers descending on them" than we have become a dandy mess.

I hope I do not sound angry because I am not. I am however perturbed that it is increasingly difficult to process any needed change to WDDM. Part of the problem is the Charter which was modified with such tight rules, even the WDDM Board can not make a decision on it's own.
Democracy requires the people to actively participate. If none or only a few do there is no democracy.
