Site News: Reorganized Sidebars. I've finally moved my ass to re-order and prune down the sidebars, so that (I hope) they will be more helpful and pertinent to timely projects and events. More on that inside. [More:]

So, I've deleted most of the Metafilter information, because I think most of you know where to find all that stuff, and I've reserved the top of the righthand sidebar for ongoing items of interest such as site news, project threads, and meetups. IRC info has been moved over to the left, and I've deleted a lot of mecha things from there since they can all be found in the wiki.

The "Site News" and "Meetups" section of the righthand sidebar are self-explanatory. The Ongoing section is for any kind of project that is happening currently and needs more attention from members. This would be stuff like recruiting for fantasy football, threads like the Voices of Metachat, etc. ... participatory stuff that is happening now.

We'll try to keep these sections to no more than four items (or fewer) each so that they are easy to scan. New items will bump off older items. So, when you have something happening "now" that you want to be included in the "Ongoing" or "Meetups" section of the sidebar, please email me or iconomy to get it listed. (You can email us both, and whoever is awake/had enough coffee can make the change.)

Now all I have to do is figure out why it's crashing and fix it.

Woo! This is great, taz. Can you help me make my sideburns more userfriendly, too? :)

Wait, we need a process to discuss this for four months and reach consensus. Oh, wait, this isn't Wikipedia ...

Aw, makes me a little sad for the long-defunct postcard art swap....

VERY cool, taz. They're much more useful in their new streamlined form.

Can we have the "MetaFilter" at the top of every page be a link to MeFi? I like to click back and forth between sites without having to do any typing, so I miss the direct link to the MeFi front page.

MetaChat is an informal place for MeFites to touch base and post, discuss and chatter about topics that may not belong on MetaFilter.
