There are other ways to organize these activities. We are members of a traditional listserv, a format that is relatively old now. There is plenty of new software for websites that can operate several forms of communication alongside each other. For instance, there is blogging, social networking, and there is on-line chat. If the chatters (or chatterers, perhaps) were able to get on a separate channel n an instant and talk in real time, they could converse to their heart¹s content without bothering the e-mail recipients.
Some fine software is available as open source (free). If we had a website with these community features, we could also be posting different things such as articles, schematic drawings, photos of modifications, etc., all applying to the C-27. That would give us one-stop shopping for things that we now have very scattered. Technically it is a job that I could do, but would not be temperamentally suited to it. If there were someone who could combine the technical with the diplomatic/social skills, he or she would be the logical webmaster for this. --Dave Shugarts On 1/27/08 12:01 PM, "bob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't begrudge anyone the idle OT (at least non-C27) chit chat others have > been enjoying (especially in the winter when there isn't much sailing to be > done - at least around here).
