Who'd like a W&A Closed Facebook Group?

by David J. Ashton
12th February 2015

I've just asked W&A if they can start a Closed Facebook Group for W&A Members Only. They've responded favourably, but I thought I'd start a petition here anyway!

A Closed Facebook Group, for those who don't know, will be an invitation only group where only group members can see each others posts and which makes it ideal for us to share our work (and as much of it as we like) securely, ask questions and share stuff.

If you'd also like a W&A Closed Facebook Group please write, "Yes Please!" in a comment below.

I already spend a lot of time on here, Richard - it takes a good hour or more to do the sort of analysis I do; anything longer and I'd never get any work done.

However, I'm all for a closed FB page, if people want to put their work up in a more private way - this is a public site, after all, and anyone can read your work or your comments.

Hi Richard

I like the idea in theory, but would it be any more secure than posting things on here, it being impossible to vet anyone wishing to join? Or do you mean you would request people to join that you like the look of work-wise - a bit like the connection arrangement on here but widened?

I'm just not at all clear how it would work, not being very savvy on such things.
