We're taking ben's leaving as an opportunity to think about the institute's mission and the role of if:book within that context. and most importantly we're trying to figure out the best way to involve the readers of if:book in this discussion. if you have any immediate suggestions or thoughts, please comment here or send me an email. we'll try to kick off the discussion within a week.

Gary Frost on May 8, 2008 06:22 AM:if:book does have many attributes but it rambles and never is attentive either to middle or long term discussion threads. There is something wrong with the forum format if it is going to contribute to the research institute agenda. The navigational and thesaurus features seem extraneous when they should be exemplifying screen reading efficiencies. Issues of reading efficiencies and effective reading technologies, reading instructional methods, and even eclipse of reading as communication need attentive tracking. if:book could be innovating a Sophie blog. Just processing the mission statement would be worth it.

it's three years old at this point, so it would be great to get people's hit on it now.
