Members of Fairbanks Open Radio's Content (Programming) Committee met Saturday morning at Noel Wien Library to discuss priorities for adding content to this web site, improving the web site. The Committee will focus initially on providing and encouraging others to provide news items, essays, and opinion pieces, focusing on issues of special local interest inadequately covered by other media outlets. We will work toward additional audio content for podcast or download, hoping eventually to provide streaming audio Internet radio.
The Committee agreed on the importance of maintaining the distinction between factually accurate news and information on the one hand, and opinion pieces on the other; these will be maintained in distinct portions of the web site. We also agreed that written public comments should be accepted from anyone without registering in a portion of the web site; only if this leads to volume or abuse beyond what we can handle administratively, will we consider imposing restrictions.
Claire Alix, Dave Lacey, Jenn Peterson, Don Ross, David Bantz, Don Barry, Sharon Alden, AnneLine Rochet, and Fran Mauer attended the meeting and briefly toured the technology for adding items to the FOR web site, under guidance from Jenn Peterson. Other Committee members include Birch Pavelski. Abel Bult-Ito, Joan Leguard.
The Committee's next meeting will be 6:30 pm Wednesday 19 December at Gulliver's Books on College Road.

CapsLockDude (aka RA/A), nice to have you back. The interesting thing here is that these folks, whatever you think of them and whether or not they are right or left or wrong or fucked or CED (your acronym I believe) or dead, or dishwashers, or lawyers, or moms, or berry pickers or whatever; whatever they are, whoever they are they are not afraid to show their faces, and print their names on the internet for the whole world to see along with their beliefs and opinions - which is an admirable thing - which is more than can be said of you. Well, have a pleasant time driving your bus and try to listen to something other than Rush occasionally.
