I have to admit I was a little surprised upon coming to the site and finding I have been blocked. I have been primarily a browser, using the site primarily as a reference for handheld formatted sites since leaving AvantGo and becoming an iSilo user. I will attempt to be a more active contributor where I can.
I also have the same problem that this policy is trying to solve. I run a company that has developed software for handhelds. As part of our services, we offer a user forum where users can log in to get info and share ideas. The bottom line- over 1000 users (and growing) for our product - only 57 users on the forum. When questioned, many of our users don't even know what a forum is!! This may be unrelated but I think there are MANY people who get iSilo, see the link on the main page at iSilo.com to turcic.com and come here seeking reference sites. They may not even know how forums work. I too have thought extensively how to get more participation in our forums....I will watch closely how your experiment here works! :-)
By the way, here is my first contribution... For anybody with medical backrounds...we developed a pharmacy web channel (drug information/dosing etc..) designed to be viewed on handhelds. Called the 'Clinical Toolkit' you can download a iSilo version at
http://www.healthprolink.com/product...fcsignup.html. View the channel at
www.healthprolink.com/mobile
So....I promise to bookmark the forum and contribute where possible. Can I get upgraded??? Pretty please??? ;-)
Thanks-
