By the way, Adam McLane has a good post about this over at his blog….

Hmm. Something new with a more sustainable structure. Something to think about.

And yes, there is always someone out there.

I’m kind of excited to see what’s next for the Alliance members.

It would seem that most of the core of the team has found employment… so that’s great too.

Just my experience in the last few months… not a lot of that former resource/idea sharing. It just all kind of died.

I hope that some energy is put into something new with a more sustainable structure.

Think there is anyone out there?

i think that what i liked the most about gcn was that they treated people with respect, they wanted the ministries to succeede, and it was still early enough in the internet/website world for the members to share and learn from each other.

as you said, hosting was a difficult thing back then, as were countless other parts to getting a ministry set up online.

as far as the community aspect of the alliance, it was a huge benefit. it brought people together, designers and developers consulted with one another and you never really felt alone or stuck in the midst of a project.

i do agree that the time of the alliance is past. but it was a wonderful, fantastic thing, and i am grateful for all that it gave me.

i hope that through links, facebook, and other communications, we can keep the linking and networking together. There is no reason for one single member to ever feel alone in the midst of today’s internet.

and i hope the former alliance memebers can continue to share their experience with each other, and continue to learn and grow through communication and networking.
