We should be proud of what we turned round in a relatively short time period. You should also take credit for a very whizzy Wordpress site which was a joy to work with too. We could have taken the multimedia aspect further - I suspect that this will happen more this term but we also need to realise that there needs to be more action planning to work to our strengths collaboratively. We're a multiskilled bunch and we need to bring out the best in each other. I'd also be interested to know what you think about us taking more of an overview of hyperlocal Birmingham. Wasn't that one of the initial ideas of the site? We see what a larger Birmingham community is talking about and we use our skills to better represent them and develop the debate. This isn't 'churnalism' but enhancement. Roll on Semester 2 and "we need to talk" ;-) We’ve talked about this so obviously I’m in complete agreement.
