You are an extremely kind and generous person and I bow in your presence ;) Also, best of luck with your dissertation! I have been around people finishing those before and know how hard you must be working. It may be a few more weeks before the comm is up and running, but I will definitely let you know if another mod is needed then, thank you.
An icon would be lovely :) And possibly a banner for the profile. I'm not sure how banners work with most Dreamwidth pre-made layouts. Thank you for offering! As it gets closer maybe I can put up a post specifically about design and solicit people's opinions.
Right. So we could get the policies written before starting the community and then be on sure(r) footing when people do start joining. And then it would make banning people much easier -- though hopefully we are not going to have to do that. But we'll be secure if we do.
That's a good point, about having some public posts so people wondering whether to join can see what the community is like, I hadn't thought of that. You're right, that would make it much easier for new people to lurk a bit before deciding to join. Having the Open Threads members-only will be the most protective option, then, and then people can choose whether their posts are private or not. I checked and you can actually restrict commenting to members only, which will be good.

:) I like long comments.
