Conversation Culture

What's happening

A few weeks ago I posted this survey:
https://forms.gle/MW42X93iNM6V4eWU7

I will announce the results of the survey at this meetup (so have your say before then).

The reason I asked the question whether the group should be renamed is that increasingly the IDW label is being disused. There has also been a number of high profile spats between members of the IDW.

This is a self-critical topic where we discuss the state of the IDW and the future of such a group.
