I could well be confused, never having used LiveJournal, but it doesn't seem
hard to sign up. I just went over there and created a free account
(ErnLilley) that seems to have the ability to read and post on journals.

I don't think the idea is so much for WSFAns to use the journal as it was to
use it to attract non-WSFAns.

Subject: [WSFA] A Capclave LiveJournal?

At the Capclave meeting at Peggy Rae's on Sunday, Elizabeth suggested
setting up a Capclave LiveJournal community.

I have a few questions:

This would require all participants to have LiveJournal accounts.  As
far as I know, the only way to get an account is to be invited by an
existing member, or to pay for one.  Are there enough invites to go
around for all Capclave staff who don't already have LJ accounts?  I
don't think it would be fair to ask anyone to pay for the privilege of
helping with Capclave.  Especially when the money wouldn't even go to
the club.

When SekretUser23 posts to the community, is that the con chair, or
some random person who has never even been to a con?  All participants
would need to have a cheat sheet correlating real names with LJ names.
Would any participant freak out at the existence of such a list, and
its possession by everyone on the Capclave staff?
