Yes, but there is always more of this to do. I.e. some great posts come from me nudging organisations or small conferences to post more. Bottleneck is more time than anything.
Editing to add—Forum readers can help here. If you read something that you think should be on the Forum, nudge the author to post it. If you don’t have time, ping me to do so. Sometimes I offer light editing or accountability support as well to get things over the line.
You’re great Toby, but I do worry that it will be hard to make progress without getting you more capacity for the Forum. I’m glad that we were given more freedom this year, and I hope that means CEA will invest more than the current 1.5 FTE into the Forum, at least in 2027.
With your limited time, I wonder if you should focus more on proactive community building, in the sense we discussed when I first took over the team. I think people’s perceptions of the space matter a great deal to how they engage with it, as you can see from some of Nathan’s comments under the parent quick take. We can chat about it when we meet tomorrow. :)
...this would be alleviated by another good hire. We are getting into the hiring queue now, so hopefully we’ll be hiring another content manager in the near(ish) future.

Keen to hear that case.
And I agree,
