Bring Theatres Together
Thu, 30 Nov 2000, 01:48 pmI fully understand, that this web site is done out of the goodness of Grants heart (Voluntary), But with all the non-Western Australian requests for information is there a need to go NATIONAL.
The request for information alone must indercate that there is a demand for a superier theatre based web site
(build a Jacuzzi and they will come)
One centeral site with all the information that people need.
I am sure that there would be interested parties to invest to cover and costs or that annoying selling of advertising space.
Just a thought.

I just have to jump in here and agree with Melissa. Some day soon someone is going to do a better job of building an online community for australian thespians, but i believe theatrepeople isn't it and i've not seen anything else anywhere in the world that's close yet. And if i did, i'd probably mercilessly "plagiarise" it.

I've spent a great deal of time researching online communities and the ITA site is modelled on the most effective examples i could find. But the key factor is a word in your last sentence: accessible.
Successful sites recognise that the 'net is a two way street. It's not just about providing people with access _to_ information, but assisting them with the means to bring their own information to light in a community forum.

Here's the crystal ball:
You can't really see it yet, but the groundwork is all there to make this national - some time early next year. With help it could be done much sooner. Is anyone interested in getting their hands dirty under the bonnet?
Cheers
