Forrst introduces new invite process
members may now view a list of people who’ve applied for an invite from the forrst.com homepage. From here, any existing Forrst member is able to use one of their invites to invite a new developer or designer into the community. The list shows the person’s name, Gravatar (if they have one [hint, hint prospective members: you should get a Gravatar!]), Twitter username, and URL they submitted, along with an Invite button. The power to bring new users into Forrst is now largely in the hands of the community, as it should be.
This is a fantastic way of building the community. It not only makes existing members feel more involved, it improves (and speeds up) the screening process for new members.
