**Indicating interest and following proposals** Now that we have threaded comments, and the ability to follow threads (meaning you get inbox notifications of new comments), maybe we can use that to simplify some things. Two suggestions: - For each proposal, create a thread on the post named something like "follow this thread for status updates". Anybody can follow the thread. The initial comment would ask people not to *comment* in this thread, just follow if interested. When a proposal has significant changes (like a status tag), we'll add a comment about it. Followers will be notified. This is manual, but seems better than what we have now. - For new proposals at least, replace the "register your interest here" answer with a comment thread on the post named something like "comment here if you want to help build this community". The intro comment would ask people to indicate level of interest (casual, enthusiastic, in between), specific areas of interest/expertise, etc -- boil the current answer text down into 500 characters. As with the other one, we'll ask people not to have *discussions* here; each comment should be one person indicating interest in the proposal, only. This is simpler than editing an answer.
