Thanks.

It's already going; see the mail =C2=ABpemci jeftydiknykarni (Poem Weekly) =
=E2=80=94 #0=C2=BB.

One person submitted a response so far. .o'u nai

and Twitter) could be highly effective and public/'marketable' in a sense.
But having a dedicated periodical would and archive would be good.

I could go for announcing the submissions and topics on Reddit, and we
could have it linked on Twitter and Facebook.

No idea.

events). What else? The Facebook community is, of course, limited.

Money is a horrible idea here, because it kills the purpose of this, which
is to encourage fellow jbopre to write a poem, be it short, long, rhyming,
rhythmic, or plain, or whatever. Money isn't needed *here*, sorry.

> More generally, how can I and the rest of the community help?

Just encourage them, that's it. Thanks in advance.
