While you think about it, consider this comment in your reply on the library project. " Can we contact that organization and introduce ourselves and this project?" Who is the "we" and what/who is being introduced as "ourselves". Absolutely needs to be done for many projects, etc. I can speak for myself, you and I may be able to speak for a collection of people who have communicated on a mailing list, but is there a GNHLUG that can be introduced and for whom we can speak and make commitments? That is the issue to me at least. I don't think so under the present situation. Does not mean there is not a group of loosely affiliated people who identify themselves as GNHLUG members. Does not mean that group cannot get together and have fun and do somethings. When you start entering into projects that affect others and agree to do joint projects with others and take responsibility for tasks, then the existence of an entity becomes more important. Or so it seems to me. I think I will quietly let this topic proceed without further comment from me as I have been vocal enough on it.
