If you have already posted something to Discordia, or even just thought about posting, you have probably noticed that there are two links in the menu box on the top right to choose from. As we have tried to explain in various places, such as the FAQ and the different pages for either posting a short text to ignite a discussion or posting an essay/announcement, this distinction reflects a specific intention on the part of the Discordia development group. How useful does this distinction appear to you?

One the Grand Hopes we Discordant Developers have for Discordia is to break - or at least bend - the intimidation factor encountered on lists. We think the weblog format encourages informal, impromptu, sometimes brief conversational postings, and so we hope you will find that inviting. We also hope, with our weird overlapping sections, to invite discussion in a broad range of categories - so please don't feel limited to the style or subject matter of earlier posts! Even though we're not "officially" launched to the public yet, I see our user list growing by the day... So, new Discordants - please join in and post yer text-nibbles!

Do you see the link that says "Hot off the keyboard" just below your login name? What numbers do you see at the end of it?

As described in the FAQ, the different sections are intended to "promote a certain kind of discussion, a specific style of communication and exchange", rather than organizing postings on the basis of content. That's the idea. How well does it work in practice?
