Well, I admit that it's been a long time since I've posted.

Disciples Connect runs fine by itself, but things do get quiet here if there isn't a steady presence. Part of my absence, other than the occasional checkups, has been because we are using Facebook more in my region to connect young adults and youth. This means Disciples Connect may need another and better focus.

The blog and community aspect of Disciples Connect have been the strongest features. Though I did have a working user profile page and a variety of other features here and there, I wonder if focusing more on the community conversation would not be the key to go forward. Maybe we are to use this forum as a way to talk about our lives, our calls, and our dreams for the church. This means it is not a one for all approach - it could be a steady, small site of consistent and interesting conversation.

So, what do you think should be the next step? What are the absolute bare minimum of features that we would need? Would you like to see a new look? Should there be more discussion guidelines so that our conversations are organized better or focused on specific topics? What do you think?
