I’m going to try and summarize our conference call a bit by noting the questions that were asked, and trying to repeat our answers here. The first main question had to do with the notion of “channels” and what we mean by them.
The idea of “channels” was developed to create a space in which a specific group could sanction certain content. Content that is part of a “channel” will be available to everyone else the same way any content on the site is available, but content can only be posted to a specific channel by the channel’s administrators.
