-- From: matras...@aol.com Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 8:10 PM To: ql-us...@q-v-d.com Subject: [Ql-Users] Quanta Web site down? The Quanta site has been down for at least 2 days. Has Quanta closed down? Regards Duncan ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm I think the website has been deliberately taken down. It was no longer available from the day of the committee meeting held to discuss it. I hope it is only temporary. There was nothing wrong with the site as such other than that it was not kept up to date. If all the committee, including the officers, pulled their weight it would not be a difficult job. To my mind there are four areas to keep up to date: 1: News. This is already happening so no problem there. 2: Shows information. When the site was taken down it was still advertising the Austrian show held 3 months previously. It should not be difficult to keep show information up to date as there are only two or three shows per year. 3: Quanta Magazine. This is the most difficult part, but would only need updating 6 times a year. 4: Quanta News. This would be a new area in which the officers should keep the members up to date on Quanta developments. Up to now Quanta has regarded the magazine as being the first source of information for the members. This should now become the web. There is also the question of the members' area. You have made constructive suggestions that Quanta should consider, Best wishes, Geoff ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

It would be nice to imagine it wasn't a misprint.
