Dear Nicholas Frost,
thanks. These are wonderful suggestions.
When (if) I get ... say ... a dozen people, I will get in touch.
Can you think of any people not on the FRIAM list I should contact?
Hi Nick;
Think we met again at lunch last week, I'm the guy from El Dorado.
Well, it depends on what your goals area and the people you desire to
involve in achieving them. With respect to the portion of your
initiative/idea for involving people who have worked in colleges and
universities, not having such experience I'll leave that bit to
others. But, concerning your stated goal of creating "a simple
website, a distribution list, and perhaps a wiki." one question is
"are you looking for all volunteers to assist with this, or will this
be a paid project?".
The NMLUG and NMGLUG mailing lists have many subscribers (the list
roster is not available to subscribers, so I don't know how many
recipients there are), a variety (amateurs and professionals) with
good skills for building websites, distribution lists, and wikis. So,
those might be places to seek assistance for those tasks, but there
also might be people at the sfComplex and/or Redfish who could do all
that too (I don't know)? If you wrote-up what you were looking for,
I'd be happy to post it to NMLUG and/or NMGLUG on your behalf, or you
could join those lists and do so yourself were you interested in
handling that directly yourself. It might be easier to make a post to
those lists for you when you have it ready.

functions>
If you are looking for volunteers, one idea that comes to mind is to
post to Craigslist http://santafe.craigslist.org/vol/
Another idea would be to put up some sort of notice at the SFPL
(Public Library) and/or other bulletin boards in town. I will
actually be going to the main SFPL branch Monday to meet with a
Librarian friend (and former colleague from the SFI) of mine for some
consulting, I can ask her about posting a volunteer notice if you
like? There's also the NMIPA http://www.nmipa.org/ and other local
interest groups like that, and I would think posts to those groups
might yield some responses.
With respect to commercial web firms, here are a few but I can't speak
to their willingness to donate site design for a College of Santa Fe
advocacy group, but I think it couldn't hurt to ask;
