Most people old enough to spend $100 need a bigger wallet for the cards they have, not another card. Without more information about what purpose the card would serve I can't really say much. However, in general I think a "card" may be less useful than a digital badge, or a physical badge, or a sticker. Those things also do more to promote the program than something hidden in a wallet. > >>> 7) Webizen blog: +1 if moderated by Webizen representatives. > > -1 Running a blog for a group of external people as a PR exercise is not a good idea. Paying $100 and getting *yet another* blog site is probably not either, unless you back it with W3C's persistence policy as a serious promise. And then it becomes a real commitment of resources, since you cannot afford to completely outsource the moderation. > > I would consider offering people the chance to publish stuff on the official W3C blog.

I am concerned about opening up the W3C blog to a large number of people due to the moderation cost. Ian -- Ian Jacobs <ij@w3.org> http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 718 260 9447
