Welcome

This brand-spanking new sailing community is to be created by you, the users. The vision is that the community itself determines its direction. This includes the forums, the front page, styles, sidebar widgets, moderators - everything.

In the early stages I will take suggestions in the Shape the Community forum for anything to do with the running of the community. I will regularly hold polls on the main topics that have come up, in order to determine the structure, naming, and description of the forums. I understand that this will inevitably mean that the community is shaped by the early adopters, but this is something that we will have to live with. This forum will, however, be ongoing.

Moderators will be elected by the entire community. A shortlist of the highest reputations will be made when the election of a new moderator is necessary, and an election will be held by poll.

These are the general principles by which the community will be run. Come, join me - let's create something special. Get over to the forums and let me know what you want to do with this community.

Yours,
HarbourMaster
