We're considering shutting down uwstudent.org because too few people are willing to regularly contribute good stories and edit them. Without good stories, good comments are harder to come by. The plan is to turn off commenting and stop approving new stories. The current content would be preserved.
uws worked fairly well when it had a small core of dedicated volunteer writers and editors. It needs a new core of similarly dedicated volunteers if it is to remain useful and relevant to members of the UW community.
If you are interested in volunteering, e-mail edit@uwstudent.org by 22 March 2005. If too few people commit to volunteering, then we will freeze the site on 22 March.
