A few weeks ago I opened up the 1999-server list, and posted an item on Scripting News to get the ball rolling. 

We got a great group of people together, a few who have been using my web stuff going back to the mid-90s. Smart people, good reports. The software seems pretty reliable now, not just on my servers, but on other people's as well. 

So it's time to take the next step.

Users. People who write. Poets. Sources. Idea people. People who love the open web, who, even if they love silos too (I like Facebook and Twitter, for example) want to be sure there's an open environment where anyone with an idea can play. Freedom. 

So I've started the 1999-user list. 

It a support list for people who are using 1999.io to write blogs. 

Out of this I hope to get a small community of people writing with the new software, reporting problems, making feature requests, doing the kinds of things users do, as opposed to things sysops do.

If you want to try blogging with 1999.io, please join the list. I'll be posting instructions on how to get started soon. You'll be helping us get to the next level, where instead of a community of tens of people, we can get up to hundreds and then who knows. ;-)

Here's where you go to sign up.
