gregf: while I'm sure your post is interesting to many, I don't see how it's relevant to Advogato. On the other hand, there is a site that would be quite ideal for this sort of discussion: Skolos, which is run by my friend Dr. H. Martin Malin, an accomplished sexologist. The site hasn't been very active, because Marty has been busy with lots of other things, but if the people here who are interested in sex want to "move in," I'm sure they would be most welcome.

Skolos also runs a mod_virgule, as do a number of other sites. neale and crackmonkey in particular have been putting a lot of work back into the m/ codebase. I plan to fold Neale's patches back into the mainline tree. The possibility of mod_virgule picking up development pace is exciting.

One particularly appealing change is the ability to post comments in projects (used for evil plans in Badvogato, among other places). This is clearly useful, but I'm also intrigued by the idea of setting up "rooms" or topic areas, not linked to any particular project. I can easily imagine rooms for sex, politics, movies, books, etc. Or, perhaps the organization should be a little less directory-like and more fluid, with rooms coming with the whim of a poster, and going as the result of inactivity.

Is this something people would find useful? With crackmonkey's patch in hand, it really shouldn't be that difficult to deploy.
