Finding people with shared interests
The purpose of the assignment is to expose you to Internet threaded discussions (forums) and finding people with common interests (as opposed to just finding information). Go to the Audacity Web site, and familiarize yourself with the forums and other items in the Help section. When you are familiar with the help section, answer questions 1-2 and either 3 or 4.
- In the example shown in the handout for this topic, I posted a question in the General forum for Audacity version 1.2.x. There are three forums in addition to the one for Version 1.2.x, what are they?
- Print and turn in a copy of the most recent thread in the Windows forum for Version 1.2.x.
- Ask a question or initiate a discussion thread on a forum of your choice -- on any topic of interest or relevance to you. Print a copy of the thread including your post and the replies after one week.

- Use a search engine to find a Web site or document dealing with a topic you are interested in. Initiate an email conversation with the author. Print and turn in your messages after one week.
