Hi Jonathan.

We've tried this before (and I keep an eye on various feeds for the west
mids to limit vandalism etc). However experience suggests that making
contact might put as many off meeting up as it does encourage them. I don't
think we have an answer to this problem, perhaps the simplest solution is to
have a short email with the relevant information links that goes out to
anyone new that makes an edit. If its seen as a one off email from the
system (rather than from an individual) it might be better received than a
"pounce" type email that hasn't worked very well to date.

Other suggestions welcome.

Cheers
Andy

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone has seen this before but it's an RSS feed of new users
75km around Birmingham.  I thought it would be good to monitor it and when
someone new does an edit we could "pounce" on them and invite them to the
next MappaMercia meet?
