I worked on improving the contact management system. GS charged $100 for development.
Some comments from edwardtufte.com on managing and promoting bulletin boards:
Another reason to program in pre-approval only is that eventually the moderators of every online forum find other things to do with their lives. The server doesn’t realize this and soldiers on processing postings. Spammers discover a happy home and the database fills up with crud.
Alas, like all security (antiterrorism, insurance, police, copyright), there isn’t a one-sentence answer except to say every site must make, and continuously review, its own complex cost-benefit assessment and maintain a layered defense
There’s nothing like a good argument to inspire interest among members and to attract attention (and even links) from people with similar interests.
I thought of a new term: collaborative search. I prefer this to search-on-search.
Took 2 weeks holiday and, on return, motivation seems to have gone.
