Props to Chris for going out and creating it :) Anyhow, I certainly believe that the primary use of this facebook group should be to funnel people to the wiki and mailing list. Regarding "RSVP" stuff, I would certainly be willing to take care of sending a list of attendees back to Bill in a timely fashion, probably automating it... though again, I think it's best to encourage folks to email the list directly. :) So, in short, I think it should be a facebook-based advertisement for Boston.pm, focused on attracting and funneling interested folks to the existing mailing list and wiki, more than it would be "yet another focal point" -- Steve Scaffidi <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
