SILS project blog (recurring)

Is the blog necessary?

All

  • Blog has been challenging - finding the time!

  • Is anyone reading it? And is it providing value? If not, delete it?

  • Agreement we are communicating this same information to the cohort effectively and we don’t need it.

  • Interview different groups to create blog posts such as the ICs on how they are organized locally and how it’s going. Ask 3 questions. Do a seasonal series.

Keep blog space open for groups to blog.
