@John Overwhelming number of recommendation questions.

But if you like Literature, the new lit proposal is in commitment phase and would love your support!

Hello for the first time @Catija. I "met" you through @steelersquirrel. She told me a lot about you. I have read a lot of your posts, and am duly impressed.

Aw, well, shucks. Thanks :D And hello to you. Now I need to go see what @steelersquirrel has been saying about me behind my back.

All good stuff. Much about your relatively recent newborn. Congrats! I accidently referred to her as a guy when she changed her user ID. That led her to tell me about you. I apologized of course, and she took it humorously -- thankfully.

I find a lot of these sites interesting. But I think I still have a lot to learn here. So I will take it slow for a while. I did go to Area 51, and was duly impressed.

Sure. :) It's an interesting world. Every site has slightly different rules. There's something fun, though, about being on a site from day one. :D

@Catija You are right. I tentatively joined four sites already. But I am busy enough here for the moment. Literature would make five.

Well, literature probably has a couple of months before it goes live... or it could be six months. There's no way to know how long those last few users will take, unfortunately.

Do you think I can help it along by joining?

The way the commitment phase works is that the site needs 200 users to commit to using it while it's in the private Beta phase. Right now the site has 138, so it will have to wait for those last few users before it opens.

Well OK. Thanks for the information.
