Hello Social Actions Google Group,
This is a quick heads up to let you know that we will be breathing new

Quality of search results

Hi,

I was testing out the social actions search and was a little
disappointed by the quality of the search results.

Here are my concerns:
- Titles are not descriptive. This is a big concern to me. Sometimes
titles just contain a name (Lend4Health) or ie.: "Website redesign" or
"Drogenbogen"

That is fantastic, Peter
We were thinking late April, early May so as not to conflict with the AFP
Conference in New Orleans in the spring.

So early May may fit into your schedule. Fantastic.

Hi Beverley,

I'm glad to hear the event in coming together. Do you have a date yet?
When we last talked about this, I think you mentioned something about April.

I will be in Vancouver / Seattle in late February and early March (for
my brother's wedding), and could swing back through around the time of

Hi Peter
Pinc is organizing/hosting a conference on the west coast in 2009 for NGO's

For everyone on this list, a quick note that we want to move the
conversation with advisors over to Basecamp. If you're interested in
joining our Social Actions basecamp account as a Social Actions mentor /
volunteer / supporter, please let me know.

Hi Lexi,

I'm in complete agreement with your suggestions. Our next design

Lexi, this is a great suggestion and holy cow, there's a lot to add to
the entry. Wiki is all about adding whatever you know about a subject
to its entry, so I hope you'll give it a try and add what you feel you
know (which is *alot*). Thanks for the prompt for all of us to do the
same, too. Here's the link, for everyone's easy reference:

RE: [social actions] Other site suggestions

christine.eg...@hotmail.com (Christine Egger) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:32:19 UT

Lexi, *thank you* for taking the time to share these ideas and questions. Your suggestions are fantastic. No apologies for un-tech-savviness: this is just the kind of critique we need to make sure the site is useful.
Keep the suggestions coming here, for now, although I like the idea of a "site/blog feedback" feature and will add that to the list of desired changes.

Hey folks,

In the course of writing about and telling people about socialactions,
I'm noticing a couple of things on the website that I wanted to
mention or suggest:

1--on the home page, the right box ends before the text does (at least
on my Firefox 3.XX browser), leaving a line of text looking like it's

I was just writing a personal blog about social actions (I'll post it
as my first blog on sa when I'm done) and I realized that wikipedia
has a very outdated entry about microphilanthropy--Social Actions
needs to be on there! Does anyone have the time to update wikipedia
entries for microphilanthropy, including adding entries or synonyms

The new Social Actions is up and running!

With incredible direction from Britt Bravo, and unbelievable support
from Christine, Joe, The Brattleboro Collective, and many others, we're

Please have a look and let us know what you think.
