First of all, I agree with Paullus: the plan put forward by Max and called the "Scribal Plan" has been setup, as far as I can gather from ideas put forward earlier in this thread. Without a plan there can be no action and , as said, we have a deadline here.
However, i am glad that the plan has been published here and that it has caused so many reactions. It proofs that the citizens of Rome are active readers of general boards in their city and that their city is their concern.

The paln and the concept are new: we all have to get it started and at the same time get used to it.

Personally, I'm very glad that the neigborhoods consist of interest areas, the topics and that they will be spread over the neigborhoods. On the other hand, the groups will be embedded within the neigborhoods too.

As interest areas and topics and groups will be placed in certain neighborhoods, the names of the neighborhoods will not necessarily connected to certain families or personae, i.e. the Julii who are interested in other things than the topics provided at the Palatinus, live somewhere else. On the other hand, there will be members living in designated areas, as has been described in the Scribal Plan.

Whatever alterations there will be still made, I think we should stick to the Scribal Plan for the basics. However, one thing I would like to see guaranteed: the freedom and fun of the member.

And I guess that we all want that guarantee..!
