The AETHER student interest meeting has been postponed until Friday January 6th, 8pm EST so as not to conflict with Unity Vigil. Due to my schedule in the coming year, this prevents me from having quite as much time as I'd hoped to help get things rolling before I get busy... But it did give me an idea.
This community is anything if not independent. It has demonstrated many times in the past (sometimes with me among the vanguard) that it resents any sort of control or dictation. I've spent this time thinking "What is it AETHER can do for the community" but perhaps a better question is, "How can AETHER provide a framework for the community to do things for itself?" But, AETHER is a small shell. It doesn't have the dedicated manpower to insure this program, if it becomes popular, will prosper.
So, how will it? If those interested in seeing it succeed help us realize that vision. I don't know how much oversight and coordination is going to be required because that depends 100% on how many people get involved, but it's going to need at least some. I'd encourage anyone interested in helping this program grow to contact me via PM or tells. The student initiative may have been started by AETHER, but it's not for our sake. It's for the sake of encouraging interaction and roleplay among everyone in the larger community.
