This afternoon Al and I were talking about how to stimulate more discussion on the blog. It's kind of a crazy time for a lot of us--between babies and graduations and theses and new jobs etc--and so I think FQI is less active than some of us (me?) might want.
One idea we had was to open the blog up to comments from non-bloggers. I think two big pros of this would be to (1) revitalize discussions and (2) bring in some other perspectives to issues that we discuss.
What do you think? Since it's kind of a big change, we'd like to get as many opinions as possible. Also, if we do end up opening up the blog, we want to give everyone the chance to remove whatever personal information they'd like to.

I don't mind having other people commenting here, however I'm wondering how to get those of us who are part of this blog to comment and discuss things. I don't think opening up comments will necessarily do that.
I think it would be great to open things up to other commenters. I agree with Jeje though-- I don't know if it would necessarily make US comment more. But I do think it's a good idea.
Right, good point Jeje - anyone have any ideas about how to stimulate discussion?
I'm not sure. However, I do want Allison to post about her experience with Elder and Sister Oaks. Especially since I went to a fireside with Sister Oaks last night, and when I introduced myself, she remember you, Allison. :-)
Well, I think that there are a few of us who are more active, so maybe outside comments will give us more ideas to bounce off of. I think increasing comments will increase participation from those of us who already participate - but I'm not sure about those who are less active.
(Hm... that was kind of a convoluted thought... know what I mean though?)
