Gone Raw: 100% Raw
Help us to create a category of 100% raw recipes by marking each of your purely raw recipes as *pure*. We're looking for recipes that do *not* contain items such as agave, Bragg's, Nama Shoyu, yeast or other items found on the "dead food list":http://purelyraw.com/deadfoodlist.htm (which aren't actually raw, but find themselves moderately used in many raw recipes).

Gone Raw Forums: Totally Raw Goodness
There is a great discussion going on now on "this thread":http://goneraw.com/forums/5/topics/6373 about creating a totally raw category of recipes (without Bragg's, agave or the other common ingredients listed "here":http://purelyraw.com/deadfoodlist.htm). Do join in and help us in creating an even more useful site for everyone!

Press: Sierra Club
Thanks to "germin8":http://goneraw.com/account/show/442 for "pointing out":http://goneraw.com/forums/5/topics/6329 that Gone Raw has been linked from the "Sierra Club's Green Tip":http://www.typepad.com/t/trackback/885695/30236926!
Their green tip: "Give the Stove a Rest...Save energy and keep indoor temperatures down by avoiding the oven on hot days. Opt for salads, fruits, cold soups, or cold sandwiches. Maintain dietary variety during warm weather by experimenting with "raw food recipes":http://goneraw.com/recipes."
Hmm...we might have some recipes like this around here!
Gone Raw: Raw Almonds
We noted a particularly interesting comment to our "raw almond forum":http://goneraw.com/forums/8/topics/6192 today - "almondsalive.com":http://www.almondsalive.com is offering truly raw shelled almonds delivered for $10 a pound. Even better - mention Gone Raw and they'll reduce the price to $7. How exciting!
Help to create a nut-free category on Gone Raw!
We've noticed more folks interested lately in "giving up nuts":http://goneraw.com/forums/8/topics/5534 and finding "no nut recipes":http://goneraw.com/forums/5/topics/5322?page=1#posts-50540. If you'd like to help make these recipes easier to find, go in and categorize your favorite nut-free recipes as *nut_free* and we'll get this "new category":http://goneraw.com/recipes/list/nut_free rolling. Thanks!

Volunteers Wanted
We've been overwhelmed by the amount of interest the _New to Raw_ forum has generated and want to be sure that all the new folks here are getting insight and answers to their questions. So, we're looking for volunteer moderators to watch over the _New to Raw_ forum and take time each week to guide some of the newer folks. We know many of you do this already, but are wanting to be sure that all answers receive a response.
Please write kandace @ needmoredesigns.com if interested!
New Forum Topics
We love that everyone is taking part in our "forums":http://goneraw.com/forums (which weren't even a part of Gone Raw on on launch)! We've added two new topics to our expanding conversation.
First, we've added a dedicated place to talk about specific "health issues":http://goneraw.com/forums/8. This would cover anything from detox symptoms to specific ailments.
Also, we are thrilled with all of the folks new and transitioning to raw. We've created a space ("new to raw":http://goneraw.com/forums/8) for asking questions and chatting about that journey. We don't expect that everyone in this forum is going to be 100% raw - this is about your journey and initial questions.
Along the same lines, we'll be posting a few articles about being new to raw at the top of the section. If you'd like to help us write about raw basics, please let us know!
Enjoy!

Saint Patty's Day is just around the corner and folks are "starting to think":http://goneraw.com/forums/2/topics/3914 about "delicious green recipes":http://goneraw.com/forums/2/topics/3946.
