Plans for Website

[JHByrne]

       Alright, everybody, we are making rapid progress on getting a website set up.  Dennis Frye and Gail Leatherwood are working on getting a series of organized files together, to help focus our efforts.  The files shall likely be 'chapters' or sections within the new website, www.europa-icepick.org.  Dennis recommends that these be the following:

Participants - location, skills, etc.
Icepick sponsors, contacts, references
Icepick website
Icepick overall design
         Sub. heating unit
         Sub. power source
         Sub. experiment results
         Sub. transponders and delivery system
         Sub. Control
         Sub. reference material on design
Icepick test location and method
Europa information relevant to future Icepick design
Astrobiology info (a folder for reasons why we're doing this)

    As of now, the website name is to be www.europa-icepick.org, courtesy of Joe Latrell.  Gail Leatherwood and Dennis Frye will help with the organization there.

       Organization is a key factor.  Here on the klx website, we've had to make to with a big 'common room' approach, and a rough headings system.  Now, we'll have subject headings to help organize the emails and efforts... however, we'll need to make sure to use those headers.  Try to avoid spam, and keep focused.  If your email is about a heating element, try to keep it closely related to the heating element, and not a philosophical discourse on space ecology or whatnot.
       Dennis has also suggested that people with particular interests in Europa, such as biologists, be able to post relevant articles there.  We all agree.  If you've got something of interest, we'll give it a home.
