What do you say? Any volunteers? In the RICG, we have about ~4 people who run the twitter feed… we should get a twitter feed. It works quite well and it's been quite successful in helping with discussions, surveys, and generally spreading the word, etc… but yes, it requires active monitoring and participation. I can help with this. Also, we need to be proactive, as a group (i.e., all people that signed up to this list), in keeping each other informed of new posts, etc. Centralised blogging can kinda suck, so I would prefer we don't do so much of that. So, we just need people to let us know what's been published thus far. Again, in the RICG, we have a great "library" that we often refer to and point people to: https://github.com/ResponsiveImagesCG/picture-element/wiki/Relevant-resources (Arg! so need a better URL for that!) As I said in the first few days of joining the group, it would be nice to have a logo or some kind of recognisable banner for the group. This has also worked really well for the RICG, particularly in media coverage. The RICG-look-and-feel has also been used by various members at conferences, etc. We've even printed t-shirts :) It helps having symbols and tangible objects that make folks identify with a community. Lastly, the RICG Website has also played a pretty critical role (http://responsiveimages.org). Thankfully, we already have http://prollyfill.org and http://extensiblewebmanifesto.org/ - but we should work towards making into a useful resource (i.e., give people a utilitarian reason to go there). -- Marcos Caceres
