Charles,
Thanks for asking, and I'm glad to be back. I actually belonged to
the LDSOSS list a long time ago, but somehow I became unsubscribed
and forgot about it. Then someone mentioned it on another list just
this week and I was glad to be reminded of it -- I had enjoyed
reading the discussions in the past -- so I signed up again.
You and others on the list may be interested to know that I just
began working at the More Good Foundation, a brand new non-profit
group that will do search engine optimization and internet marketing
for LDS websites. We are out to find and promote faithful, positive
LDS web sites, big or small. We're not a large group (only 4
employees so far) but we'd like to rally together everyone is
interested in making the Internet more friendly to investigators of
the Church. For example, if you are handy with Photoshop and have
some free time, we'd like to connect you with a mom-and-pop LDS
website that needs a new logo. Or if you like writing, we'd like to
publish your essay about the Book of Mormon or temples or the Word of
Wisdom on a web site. Or if you want to blog about LDS topics, we
have the resources to set you up with a blog. Same goes for
programmers, web developers, and internet (SEO) marketers, etc. --
all of those would be helpful. We'll have a PC lab in our office
which people can use, or we can simply dish out service projects for
you to do at home.
Our overall goal is to improve the Church's image on the web,
especially for non-members. We're not quite set up (we just moved
into our office Monday) but please feel free to email me
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if this sounds like something you'd
like to help with. Again, this could mean as little as 30 minutes a
week -- we'd like as many volunteers as are willing to help. And if
you have any opinions or comments, I'd be interested in those too.

Hey,
I don't mean to disrupt the mailing list peace, but I've noticed a
recent influx of new members. I, for one, would be quite interested in
learning who you are, how you found LDSOSS, what motivated you to join
the list, and what you hope to get from the group.
In any case, welcome, and we hope you enjoy it here!
Charles
