Conversation

2/ Currently there are two separate slack workspaces, one for BASB online course and another for Praxis members. Neither one has critical mass to sustain ongoing engagement

3/ There’s also an online forum only for BASB partic, and soon a special section of that forum only for praxis members to discuss blog posts

4/ Purpose of that is so BASB ppl have access to praxis discussions, but not vice-versa. Also to keep specialized terminology for course limited to ppl who know it

5/ But now we’re wondering if this is all too convoluted and dividing ppl up into narrow categories requiring active mgmt and access control

6/ Should we just have a single Forte Labs slack channel and single online forum, perhaps with channels/sections of each of those reserved for BASB partic, where we give them special attention?

7/ I’ve heard that 1k ppl is rule of thumb for critical mass for online community. Putting them together would yield group of 800. Once critical mass is reached, maybe offshoots will even be self-sustaining as well

9/ Downside is that very different kinds of conversations will be going on in one place. Some using terms that will be unintelligible to others. Or on very specific topics

10/ What are some best practices or recommendations on how to manage this? Should we do big tent surrounded by smaller tents, or just lots of medium-sized tents?

Hm interesting. I guess the distortion is that there are access levels depending on how much they’ve paid. Which is very different from how engaged they are
