What's good about this Community and how can we improve it?

Hello!

It's been a while since I asked such an open question to all of this wonderful community.

- what do you like about the Communities?

- what single thing can we improve?

- what gets your goat (I mean mean 'what', and not 'who')

- are you an 'answer' person? Why? what do you get out of it (and by the way, thank you for doing what you do)

- has the community helped you get stuff done, and make your life easier? 

- has the community helped you grow your network? Is that important to you? Are we friendly and welcoming?

- what would your #1 piece of advice be to those thinking about posting for the first time?

I'm not expecting you to answer these precise questions. They're simply a guide, a prompt... in case you need prompting :)  

I'm very keen to hear from as many of you as possible. 

Big caveat: I can't promise to implement any of your suggestions - you know, technology & resources and stuff. But I will listen. Listen well, and pass on your thoughts. And you never know. 

Feel free to email me directly at s.bridger@cipd.co.uk if you would prefer not to go public. On the other hand, I do encourage you to share your thoughts with your peers, below.

Thanks in advance!

    Many thanks for starting the ball rolling.

    I won't make a habit of stepping in to 'interrupt' the flow of responses (at least I hope not), but I will just say that we created a new 'Subject area' on the Communities in January 2008, for those people who have qualification & exam-related questions. 

    www.cipd.co.uk/.../subject.aspx 

    I'm glad we did, as it has attracted 300+ threads in 10 months, and there are probably a few more that have slipped the net.

    Totally with you on the context-less assignment questions. It has been raised several times before. I'll be including this in a new set of Community Guidelines I'm writing - which I will be consulting you all on when in draft.

    Thanks.
