I really don't want to be a wet blanket here - but I've got to ask. Is it
really "much loved"? The document itself is fine, but the website aint.

The "Forum" section - which is potentially one of the most valuable and
useful areas - has had 3 posts this year, the last one 3 months ago. The
"News" section has had 3 posts this year, and the "Feature" section - which
claims "Every now and then we put the spotlight on a different community
radio subject. These features allow us to look at particular topics in more
depth, with articles, website links and interactive contributions from
members" - has not been updated in four and a half years.

I don't find it a particularly user-friendly experience.

Before the last "rebranding", it was quite a useful resource, with an
active forum. But I'm now just a very occasional visitor, and any time I do
visit, I get the feeling that the only footprints in the sand are the ones
I made last time I visited.

It's a concept with great potential, but needs more buy-in and
participation from the community to make it work.

Bruce.
