Brainstorming Group

I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile but haven’t really found a good group of people to invite to this. So I thought I would at least ask if anyone out there would be interested.

The idea is filled with sub-ideas but the main focus would be “Brainstorming”. A group of us would get together every couple of months and brainstorm on what makes a website good. We would discuss color theory, accessibility, semantics, usability and the interactability of humans on the web.

This group would probably not be any larger than 5-7 people max and would be pretty intense in learning and research.

Like I said above, we would only get together a every couple month (every 3 months??) but would really focus on certain subjects. We would probably get together at my house to start out and then other try out other places as time goes on.

I’m guessing that most of our time would be spent in front of a marker board and just thowing out ideas, thoughts, and information from the research that will be going on.

Again - this is an idea I’ve been thinking about for awhile and would love to have a intelligent group of people to brainstorm with. If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of - let me know right away.

Do note that this is a different and seperate group of people than the g33ks group. This new group doesn’t require you to be a g33k. In fact - if you’re a g33k, this group will probably not be the place for you.

Add to the discussion.

I expect the rejection allowed both in your disclaimer, and in your note that if I am a g33k, it is not for me - however, the idea is a least interesting to me.

Since I am pre-rejected (tho my qualification as an actual g33k is questionable) - would you post those kind of ideas some where? Or perhaps that might be the kind of thing to fling a bb up somewhere, and see what sticks.

It’s ok if you’re a g33k but also interested in the “Brainstorm” group. People wear many hats. I guess I should have written that a little better in my post.

Plus, I know you think about a lot of these issues already.

Hey Aaron… I would definitely be interested, depending on my schedule. That is, if you think I could bring anything to the group…

Take care!
