Hello everyone, I thought I would send this separate from the usual RRT emails as some of you probably charge straight for the topics and ignore what I write! We have created a forum for the rapid response team and the editing team. You can access it at http://debatewise.info/forum/index.php. This forum was really created for the editing team as it is useful to discuss what debates need editing and how as well as providing somewhere where users can point out what needs deleting. However I am sure it will also be useful for the RRT by providing somewhere to discuss who is taking what debate without having to email everyone and this should allow for more cooperation on debates. Also our current debates don't really provide anywhere for discussing community related issues and emailing the list about something rapidly leads to lots of very long emails hopefully this forum will prevent this problem. Basically it works like any other similar forum you may have been to. So I assume I won't need to explain anything! For the moment at least I will keep sending out the RRT mails as usual. There is no point in switching everything over to the forum while no one is there so I shall wait a few weeks and see how it goes. Also as a reminder Leo was looking for someone else to help with writing about the progress of the WODC. He gave a deadline of the weekend (no idea if that means midnight tonight or midnight Sunday night!) email leo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx to apply: Preferably with debating experience of some sort: "The second task that I would like you to do is to please write something short but at least a paragraph on which debate out of the First round debates of this years competition do you think is the best and why? You don't have to agree with the adjudicators decision on the debate you choose. However in your answer I'd like to see you communicate clear knowledge about debating and show your passion for it through your words and style. Basically please show me a taste of what you can do in a short space." Regards, Alex
