OK. First, I want to clearify the primary goal of this particular topic. It was intended for ANY ideas, suggestions, opinions about what we can do back home or even here.
Second. Not even finishing the brainstorming period of the "project", we started to develop one that some of us liked. I am not against that, by no means. But we need to structurize the process. I still think that we didn't gather a decent amount of primary ideas.
Third. Who is gonna do that? I mean only.. how many are there? 5? 6 of us? Where are the others? If we take the newspaper idea, it would be better to create a new topic, state all the goals and suggestions there and call all the people who are interested in that particular idea. That way it will be a stand alone issue, everybody will see it and all the people who interested will just go straight to that topic without struggling through all this mess.
I intended this topic as a starting point, storage of different ideas, ANY ideas, then see what ideas would work, see who is interested in them,then start working on them. Make them actually working projects.

Neo, we need your help here. What about taking those projects on the front page? I mean the working ideas that found people willing to develop them. If we want to do something real, we either should turn this whole forum in one of the business kind or create a shortcut on the front page to the new message board that deals only with particular issue, like newspaper. I mean if we seriously wanna do that. What do you think?
I don't know, I might be wrong, but that's what I suggest.

here is another idea i just got:
we can make or find a site or anything like to gather in one place the web info (like the links to the web sites) about the grants, scholarships and other things, where people can email with their problems and offerings, like you know there are resume sites where people send their resumes and employers and emplyees can meet.

Why kill other topics? Pust' zhivut. Vse-taki i tuda ludi prihodyat poobschatsa. A nash UPenn1 i tak uzhe monster, ne uspeesh' topic postnut' - uzhe zateryalsa gde-to vnizu.
For projects we need something better than forum. Have you heard of "blackboard"? We have this thing on our university site.
I mean, we don't need many topics for just one project, actually listserv might serve pretty well for this purpose. Good idea Neo!

By the way, why not put the link to listserv subscription on the front page?

Guys,
Have you noticed that in america they started to put heavy emphasis on teamwork? They finally understood that their individualism won't lead them far.
We don't need to be taught about working in groups, ..or do we?
Anyway, the main point is that teams always more effective and flexible than individuals, so why not start forming teams by the areas of interest?
Also, to improve our communication it'd be great to open a page or topic for sharing your story of life, getting to know each other closer. Something like Yerkin's message in the "Jan26" topic.
What are your ideas?
