Thank you both.  I'll be Clarking this in February.

Okay, thank you!  I'll be Clarking this in February.

Okay, any other feedback or concerns?  I think all previous concerns have been addressed with this new version.

Any suggested amendments from anyone to this?

PUBLIC NOTICE
The Prime Ministry wishes to announce that all significant Government business will take place on the Cabinet forum, and will accordingly be preserved for posterity and to assist future government decision-making.  This public commitment is in keeping with past practice, but we are publicizing and memorializing it as a formal policy decision for Talossan governance.

This and other postings will continue to be available on this page, and any significant changes will be accompanied by a public announcement.

Okay, so I've kept working on this when not occupied with management matters or the informal session stuff, and I've added logic to the system to automatically parse some things when processing applications for the public posting.  It will now automatically put in potential provincial assignments, delete social media info if the applicant wants it kept private, and alert the minister if any significant portions of the application are incomplete.

We're also able to be a lot more transparent about the process.  For example, I can easily report that we've gotten ten applications this month (plus two tests from me).  Of those, two have been bounced back with explanations that they're incomplete, one was processed and posted, and seven have not yet made Wittenberg accounts.

Happy birthday your Majesty!

We hate being right all the time, but more seriously: this is what happens when partisanship and lack of principles means backing the manifestly unfit.

She will be searching for a majority for quite a while longer thanks to you my fellow Talossans. I was grateful for a steady vote result for the Greens but even more so that the URL were not rewarded for their relentless negativity in the last campaign. Time will tell whether they absorb the message delivered by voters.

I'm actually not sure if I've ever had borscht but it's definitely on the list of things I want to try. I absolutely LOVE beets they are one of my favorite vegetable and highly underrated in my opinion

Xheralt, please share a pic and let us know what you think when you fix it. It is a top three soup for me. If you'd like I can share a pic of the recipe I use. It is from a classic American cookbook called The Joy of Cooking.
