i'm open to anything but as far as design goes, shouldn't we figure out
what's going up first? there are random ass pages i've made for the site,
but i never knew what/how about to get it going, obviously.
as far as the letter goes, the one that i started and have had since the
summer is just the general refresh verbage.
"
 *Refresh* is a community of designers and developers working to refresh the
*creative*, *technical*, and *professional culture* of New Media endeavors
in their areas. Promoting *design*, *technology*, *usability*, and *
standards*.
 The Refresh Manifesto

   - Let's Gather Great Minds
   - Let's Share All Of Our Knowledge
   - Let's All Grow And Learn


   - Let's Promote Local Talent
   - Let's Be More Than We Think Can Be
   - Let's Make Our Cities Better"

yeah - nice cut and paste! i started playing around with ideas for the
manifesto, etc, but never really came up with anything substantial or
concrete.
i also just joined the refresh linked in group here:
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?=&gid=56738&goback=.anb_56738_*2
aaron post is the moderator who is also the dude who started refresh and i
emailed a few times.
if you check out the list of refresh sites, you'll notice chicago has a new
one. if you look at their site, it fucking sux and is the main reason why i
waited before taking any steps forward.
random - if refresh is all about standards/accessibility, are we going to be
posting on these topics? or posting good references for them?
think i should make a twitter for refresh?
