[Carfreeliving] Questions about the new blog

Mostly personal stories. Links to policy efforts would be appreciated.


>- What length (more or less) do you envision for each week's piece?

Extremely short is OK. We're going for quality and frequency, not length.

>- Would the occasional topical haiku be an acceptable contribution?

See above!

>- What's the editorial policy on content? For example, would something

>"these aren't necessarily the views of TLC" approach?

These aren't necessarily the views of TLC. I 
envision that Tom and I will have editing powers 
that will allow us to go in and add references to 
policy efforts. For example, if you refer to a 
particularly annoying bike ride we could add a 
link to the SFBC page that is working on 
improving that section. Or complain about waiting 
for the bus in the rain, we could add a link to 
somebody's efforts to improve transit stations. 
And I suppose we could also correct blatant 
policy misstatements or other bona fide errors, 
but hopefully that would rarely happen.
