Personally I think one of the issues is that, given the increase of interest in
extropy, the idea of single list for an international community is outdated.
Perhaps the communication in the ExI could be better distributed by separate
lists for different topics. Also, an emphasis on local gatherings outside of
California and other forms of networking might help. I for one would like to
hear from extropians and transhumanists in the Chicago area.
