whnaWelcome to the Winter Hill discussion forum. Some members of our community are eager to have a place to post interesting news, chatter, events, or any sort of discussion related to living in the Winter Hill neighborhood of Somerville, MA. This is an outgrowth of the Winter Hill Neighborhood Association's (WHNA) outreach efforts.
Mission statement (6/16/17): The WHNA's mission is to bring together all residents of Winter Hill to protect and improve upon the things we love about our neighborhood and to have a say in its future by building unity among neighbors.
This is modeled on the successful community forum of Davis Square: https://davis-square.dreamwidth.org/ Thanks to Ron Newman for help in learning about the features of community forums and for wise moderation advice.
We hope to collect useful information about community issues, businesses, services, and sometimes just gossip or interesting tidbits related to our neighborhood.

WHNA is currently holding regular meetings on the first Wednesday of each month, 7pm, often at the St. Polycarp community room or the Mystic Activity Center. But sometimes the meeting will be held in other neighborhood locations. We'll post the current meeting details prior to each meeting.
I am Mary Mangan, current admin, and we'll see how this goes! Feel free to offer comments, suggestions, guidance, or any other thoughts you have on how this community should evolve. Off we go!

How do we start a new discussion thread?

Re: How do we start a new discussion thread?
Date: 2017-08-03 06:06 pm (UTC)Thanks for trying. I tried another browser where I'm not logged in, and I see what you mean. Maybe you need a dreamwidth account for that. But I thought it was set to let people post anonymously. Hmm. I'll check the settings.
For people who need to create a dreamwidth account, look at the top for this link: https://www.screencast.com/t/oS0RQjHb
Re: How do we start a new discussion thread?

I checked the security settings and it says anyone can post. But maybe it's a Dreamwidth legal thing, you may have to agree to their terms. I'll keep looking, but I can't make any site admin changes that seem to make it more open.
