Unfortunately as an Openspace sim it probably couldn't handle the traffic as I'm hoping for a crowd )

We could use the Petit Trianon or I can ask Skye about one of her chateaux.

I think Mid-June is early enough.

I really wouldn't worry about the plans for other communities (it's like herding cats). If you like the date, post it in Events with more information TBA and reserve the spot. That way others can work around it )

But maybe this is also a good time to look at reorganizing the entire concept here and adpating to the reality that the market this site serves has changed?

I agree that it's a good time, Aldo. It's actually a bit overdue (because of the wait for Ning 3.0) but better late than never.

The general philosophy of the site has always been inclusive:

• Though there were a lot of "courts', communities were always welcome (hey I'm from the Duch de Coeur!) which proved to be a good thing as "courts" are currently on the downswing of the cycle.
• People from other grids are also welcome although you do have to have a Second Life account to be able to register. That's for administrative purposes, to avoid spammers. and it's pretty effective. Right now it's a manual process and I don't see another viable alternative given our current technological constraints. If anyone has other ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Site Branding is a Challenge:

Obviously the site name "Royal Courts of Second Life" has connotations that aren't so inclusive. Unfortunately, we can't change the Name or the Link unless we migrate the site. Moving to another platform would give us this opportunity.

If we stay put, we could do things like changing the banner and note/comment/guideline text etc.

Should this site perhaps include more emphasis on other grids besides SL? Should there be separate sections for those other girds (which also might help promote their use?) and perhaps special "reporters" or "editors" assigned to solicit and collect information from other grids?

We can easily set up Groups and/or Discussion Categories for different grids. I do find the Ning 2.0 group functionality to be a bit lacking but it's the best we can do on this platform.

Love the idea of special reporters and/or editors!!

I'm really going to show my age here by admitting that I've actually programmed a PDP-11/10. I'm sure I still have my Assembler Instruction Card around here somewhere (just in case!!).

You would toggle in the instructions andthen save them on a ticker tape. Unfortunately feeding the ticker tape back into the machine usually caused it to break destroying your program )

Ahhhh ... the good old days!!

A Decades Ball sounds wonderful!

As far as the time frame goes, July 21st is the deadline for the annual renewal soa decision with-regard-to site direction has to be made before then.

Personally, I don't believe that people going to opensim for historical rp makes for much ofa reduction in the SL historical rp numbers (if any at all).

Having said that, we've had people here on RC from other grids and will continue to do so. Way back when, Events use to be limited to SL only but haven't been for a while now.
