I would like to correspond or talk on the phone with anyone who has founded a SIG or participated in numerous SIGs and has thoughts or lessons learned about what makes them thrive, stagnate or die. Also, if anyone has written anything useful on this topic (SIG health, SIG growth, SIG moderation (in the social rather than the technical sense), and the like) I would greatly appreciate a pointer to any such material.
Finally, I would like to find names and current contact information for SIG founders who were also active participants during the early takeoff (or crash or run-out-of-gas, as the case may be - negative results are important!) of that SIG. If I learn anything useful (and not confidential) in off-list conversations or correspondence, I will summarize it and post it here. I would be most grateful for any assistance. Peace, Andrew J.
