I would like to request a personal web. The immediate reason is that I want to collect notes for a course on Kant’s logic I am going to supervise. Hopefully, there will be some spin-off for the main nLab.
I don’t like to push my own posts, but when can I expect a decision on my request?
Sorry, it’s been quiet here, even behind the scenes. I’ll raise it in the steering committee forum.
Any developments so far?
Behind the scenes discussion is (slowly!) ongoing. Sorry it’s taking so long, it’s been a bit of a drip feed.
Just to let you know things are moving backstage, I’ll get back to you shortly.
Dear Daniel,
Our apologies for the trouble and the long wait for an answer. To be honest, we were in the middle of a protracted discussion about the personal web system when you submitted your request, and it took some time longer to reach a conclusion. In the end, we have decided to discontinue the offer of personal webs on the nLab until further notice.
While to several people in the past a personal web on the nLab has seemed a good thing to have, a look at our list of sub-webs shows that all but a few personal webs we handed out were abandoned almost immediately, and are now mostly in a state of ruins, evidently permanently so. This is good neither for the health nor the public perception of the nLab.
Therefore, instead of creating new webs, the current feeling is that we should probably just delete most of the old sub-webs and then think afresh about how the sub-web functionality could be put to use. In any case, we regret that we cannot fulfill your request for a personal web at this time, and we regret that we hadn’t decided on this earlier and had to make you wait. We thank you however for your interest and participation in the nLab.
David Roberts (on behalf of the Steering Committee)
