Ella has been sick and won't be able to host the Hog Wild Piggy Swap in 2015.
As far as I know, all her Piggies already have vast quantities of seeds left over from prior years and don't plan to try to run Ella's swap without her (despite the fact that she has helpers each year).
>> Too much re-inventing the wheel for me.
I think that thread went like most suggestion threads here for a new feature or any change: everyone has at least 1-2 ideas on what might be cool or desirable, and is VERY eager to share thier opinions.
Fortunately, only a few people had any interest in doing all the work necessary, and now it's down to just one person for this year. He and Dave will decide how many and which bells and whistles to use this year in that swap.
I think there's room for more than 1-2 seed swaps per year per website, but the limiting factor on BIG swaps is how many people want to do the work to set up a "centralized" swap, or a Round Robin.
I guess the other limiting factor is getting enough people to make up-to-date OFFER or HAVE lists.
One important part of any OFFER list is how many packets you have to offer. Size of packet / number of seeds, and year harvested are also key.
(Even when i try not to, I still have o offer opinions, and I guess that IS re-inventing the wheel. I guess we just love to discuss spokes and rims and whitewalls and tread patterns.)
Wish-Lists mitigate some of the need for OFFER or HAVE lists, if seed givers are interested in looking through other people's Wish Lists.
