REDD-Monitor open thread

Tomorrow, all being well, will see the 500th post on REDD-Monitor. That seems like a good opportunity to let you have your say about the website. So here’s an open thread where the comments are available for any topic related to REDD and/or REDD-Monitor. Think of it as a virtual suggestion box.

Feedback is useful. For example, after my recent descriptions of two WWF staff, I gather you’d prefer that I don’t even try to imitate Matt Taibbi in future. I’ve deleted the descriptions, apologised and I won’t do that again.

How you use this open thread is up to you, but please abide by the comments policy. Here are some possibilities:

• Suggestions of possible new posts on REDD-Monitor (for example, sharing information about REDD projects or issues that have not yet appeared on REDD-Monitor).

• Suggestions of new features that you’d like to see on REDD-Monitor (for example, I’m hoping to set up a “Debate” section allowing two people to debate their different views on an aspect of REDD).

• Comments and suggestions about the layout of the site (for example, I heard the other day that the “reddisms” quotations in the sidebar rotate too quickly – I’ve changed this so that they only change when the page is re-loaded).

• Suggestions for funding sources for REDD-Monitor. Better still would be offers to fund REDD-Monitor.

• Notices of upcoming meetings, workshops and conferences on REDD.
