"I'm rather excited to get going with Soylent and to watch it grow. Nay, help it grow. I have lurked in /. for more than a decade (note: I'm not the same username over there, I know, how sneaky), and always wished I could have been involved with the beginning. So this is a great opportunity, and I joined as soon as I saw what Soylent was doing. Not to mention the fact that I felt right at home with the old style. It's very comfortable.
So here's a question for everyone. Are we going to be the same as slashdot? A clone that focuses as entirely as possible on tech related news? Or will we branch out to other topics? I'm interested to see either way. I posted a comment to this effect in one of our two existing polls, and it may be a community-wide assumption, but I do think it merits a discussion."

I would prefer to see it tech-centric as slashdot once was and not as heavy on poltics and "rumoured consumer-devices" (unless it is a new field (ie, "smartphones" would be fine, "new iphone/galaxy" wouldn't)).
However, in the long run I would prefer it to have a tech-centric core with some forays into "other technologies" (non-computer related tech), research and geek/nerd culture (ie, gravitate towards technology, education, research and culture instead of slashdot's trend of gravitating towards politics and slashvertisments)
Or put another way, I want it to be more "news for nerds" and less "stuff that matters".
Just my .02 of $currency.
