This post is the place to put general site feedback and suggestions for changes/additions to FAQs etc. The post will be ongoing and linked from the sidebar to make it easy to find.
I am still in the process of putting together some general information and resources, so if you have something like a list of local resources on a particular area that might be useful to the community put it here and I can add it in.
Currently thinking about: how to make better use of the main page & other threads. Now that the bot is working ok I think putting some links in the daily post to other posts like the pet post and any ongoing topics would be good. I’m also contemplating something like a weekly what’s on post, for people wanting to chat about what their plans are or get suggestions.
Sorry, just getting back to the banner issue. Might I propose engaging with or getting permission from any number of local artists to create a banner that represents Melbourne (or giving permission to use an existing image)
This promotes and nourishes local community within our digital space which, is part of the reason the DT works so well in the first place.
An example might be Callum Preston. A local artist whose designs could fit the bill https://callumpreston.com/
I’m not trying to promote this guy but just as an example of what my thought process is.
I’m happy to try and reach out to any artist that you all may think would help out.
I think it would be awesome to have a bespoke piece that’s locally made and I’m sure many artists would do it gratis.
Thoughts?
