FORUM

Communicating the existence of the GGA Forum to a FEW folks  is beneficial,
Melody and Elizabeth being ideal.

 

With a few people looking it over, we can get an idea of adjustments, things
that are great, etc.  Hervé can move forward.

 

The banner on the GGA website - is that a good possibility?

 

WEBSITE

Having the OLD website with "information"  and "content" up to date gives a
new webmaster/web designer something to work from.  

 

Brittney's main complaint was a lack of input from Board members.  

 

Her efforts were taken from the old Website.  Pretty much this is how most
all web designers start - working from what exists.  

 

Updating INFORMATION on the old/current website is very, very beneficial.  

 

Potential members have correct information, past members see effort from the
board.

 

Based on that, I will keep getting bits of the OLD website current….to our
benefit.

Hi Julie,

 

Yes, the GGA banner should be re-worked using vectors but I don't have any
software doing that, so the idea is most welcome! Just send me the final
version whenever it's ready.

Melody was on the list when I posted the link to the forum, as for Elizabeth
I have never denied I had contacts with her (not about the GGA, more like a
gecko penfriend) so I simply asked her to open an account and tell me her
opinion, as she has experience with forums too.

Trust me as I have plans in mind for all the Internet side of the GGA, it's
just a matter of time, I wouldn't worry in terms of huge delays or
feasability of such or such thing. Personal thought: we might waste energy
on trying to make a patchwork with operational and non-operational parts
with the old website, but I tend to think something brand new is way better
than a piece of old torn cloth with too much repairs on it ;) I'm nearly a
noob with html but with phpBB1 or 2 that's another story ;)

 

With all due respect,

 

Hervé
