Thanks - but not sure what you mean. The number of comments does show at the end of a post. Is there another setting I'm missing in Blogger? More familiar with Wrodpress ... so help gratefully received

"Comments can get buried on a blog" Can you enable the counter which lists the number of comments on a post, so that it shows up on the Google RSS reader ?

Then if there are comments, there is an indicator to click through. See the AVC blog www.avc.com for an example.

Thanks Noel - I hope you'll be interested in joining in on this one. I had a great meeting with RSA Fellow Robert Brook who does skunkworks for Parliament http://snurl.com/c6h2r and ideas started to spark. More after today's workshop.

We created a toolkit here for the living wage and are now thinking of creating an all-purpose campaign toolkit, so similar debate to what you're having about whether purpose matters.

More than anything, its about showing what people can do with the tools - whether it's just them as individuals, small groups or wider communities. It's also about the "big ask" - something I learnt from the

Thanks for the warm welcome - I just wanted to add my welcome too, as Scottish Chair of the RSA. We are at an exciting time in developments across the RSA, with lots of interesting work going on, including in Scotland. We have been focussing on gathering views from FRSA on what they want to see in Scotland - and there is a growing demand for digital tools. We really hope that FRSA from "all

Thanks Tessy - this is brilliant.
The kit components look excellent. One query: how far is that all about communication and collaboration process ... and how far does it have to be tied to some sort of purpose?
Red Nose Day says very clearly "do something funny for money".
Matthew Taylor said last year that he sees RSA as "the RAC of civic activism".

What I really really wanna know is how they plan to measure success. If Matthew T truly sees the RSA as being the RAC of civic activism then they are going to have to nail some kind of Social Impact Assessment/Evaluation Criteria to their mast or else its just more useless sloganeering.

In fact, I'd love to see what evaluation criteria was used to justify the funding of this initiative

noreply@blogger.com (socialreporter) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:16:00 +0000

The issue as always is who benefits? Is RSA for staff, Fellows .. or making some beneficial change in the world? That's where leadership is needed, I think. Matthew has likened the RSA to the RAC of civic activism .... but I'm not sure that's how most Fellows see it.
I guess problems

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:50:00 +0000

Well, my comments are from the sidelines and I actually have no axe to grind here either way. In fact, I would really like to see someone make an impact in the Social Innovation 2.0 space, but just have doubts whether the RSA is best placed to make this happen.

I just think there is a Leadership (2.0) issue here around Matthew and his vision as I have doubts about bottom-up initiatives

Thanks Elizabeth
I think a key communication and collaboration issue is how to help a wider range of Fellows - particularly outside London - connect and develop projects. The RSA networks programme was launched to do that, and hopefully we'll hear more tomorrow about how it will develop. At the same time RSA staff are encourage Fellows to "just do it" and set up their own ways of making

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:25:00 +0000

Well, the RSA does have it's fair share of amateur historians/genealogists that like to have FRSA on their letterheads, biz cards and personal web sites.

Maybe Matthew should have started by saying what the RSA could do for social innovators/entrepreneurs rather than the implied "Ask Not What We Can Do For You" other than throw some technology at you.

Putting interested parties

noreply@blogger.com (davidwilcox) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 22:41:00 +0000

Thanks Tessy. However, leads me to think, on Matthew's vision - if I'm to be an RSA/RAC call-out person, where's the control centre? Is that what I want to volunteer for? Feels a bit top down. And do I have to pay £140 for it too ...

noreply@blogger.com (davidwilcox) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 22:34:00 +0000

Justin - I rather agree. RSA hasn't decided what its offer is: RoI, RoV or RoD.
Is it saying we offer you a return on subsciption investment - no, others offer better for £140 a year. Or return on Vounteering, or Donation?
I suspect with older members it is relying on Fake Fellowship - FRSA. But that's just an historic anomaly of royal charter, as Matthew Taylor

Lilly - thanks. "Web members" is a really interesting idea - rather like the "country members" that I believe some clubs used to have. An alternative I've suggested in the past is that project leaders on RSA Networks could decide, with their teams, whether their project should be inside or outside the login.
Anyway, assignment zero

David,

though not a professional journalist, I have participated last year in the AssignmentZero project and would suggest looking at it as an example.

As for open access, I guess RSA needs to decide what is value-added for its members. I believe that attracting a diverse group of people around its brand is an added bonus, so perhaps they can institute a new category of 'web

Discussion about open-closed over on the RSA Networks site here.
I've got a feeling this isn't going to be resolved until there is a new head of Fellowship in place.
