Hi guys, Vince had asked for some transparency in site goals, and wherever possible I'd like to help that happen. Currently Matt, Eric and I are working on a number of improvements and added features. As you have seen, we've added our first ads to the site, and are still working out the kinks in ad placement.
Matt and Eric are exploring potential improvements to the forum itself (see Aesthetics and usability).
On my end, I am continuing with front page content, as well as trying to develop a comprehensive cube resource: The Cube Academy
By clicking that link you can see the work in progress. I have a number of pages already created, and want this to eventually be a one-stop shop for new cubers, and a place to learn about new ideass and creative cube design possibilities for experienced players.
There are three ways in which you all can help to make this a great product:
1) Provide feedback on existing content. If one of the pages could be improved, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
2) Ideas for content pieces. You can see there are already some planned, but more ideas are always welcome. It's been a while since I've been a beginning cuber, and there may be frequently asked topics that we're not covering yet.
3) Contributing actual content. Chris Taylor already started us off on this road with his incredible "Building Your First Cube" article.
Thank you all for your help, and for making RiptideLab such an enjoyable and productive community.
