  I'd like to represent here, to the extent individual memory serves, the tail end of the group description truncated in initial invitations and on the group home page:
  
  "Additional interests that won't don't fit in the keywords field include: language learning and teaching, in particular, English as an additional language; as well as collaborative bookmarking, s...[systematic tagging, and concise explanation of ... findings ....]"
  
  I'd also like to front load discussion here with a personal message sent along with initial invitations to the WinK Core group:
  
  "I've created this group so we can exploit all Diigo affords in the way of social bookmarking, threaded group discussion, and web annotation capabilities, for general enlightenment and purposeful use to add resources of value to the Weblogging in Kumamoto community. I envision it serving readily to convey web findings of interest to core community members, and eventually to incorporate a bookmark collection for students and other members (bookmark: "wink"), to replace a separate collection lost at Magnolia, and also as a reservoir from which to draw future academic citations into web app's such as CiteULike (propagating to Mendeley). Please consider joining immediately, and pitching in whenever possible." (Paul Beaufait, personal correspondence, 2009.08.26)
  
  Cheers, Paul

  Though I'm still keen on systematic tagging; that is, systematic in principle, starting perhaps with plain English words and phrases; today, however, while free-writing to shorten the description to fit the display field, I came up with something different:
  
  This group is public, searchable, & requires invitations to join. Group members can invite others. Interests beyond keywords include: language learning and teaching, English as an additional language, collaborative bookmarking, reference management, and social networking.
  
  I also extended the list of keywords; it now includes:
  
  blogging, collaboration, community, education, initiatives, leadership, technology, writing
  
  On the LTD Project Blog, I describe this as, "a Diigo group forming in Kumamoto to animate, promote, and study blogging initiatives and leadership within an expanding online community," and explain, "Weblogging in Kumamoto, indicates the group's geographic focus, though not its initial tertiary education nexus" (WinK Core: Weblogging in Kumamoto, 2009.09.03).
  
  Questions, requests, and suggestions are always welcome. If you foresee any problems with the invitation setting, I'll change it right away.
