Re: [Goanet] Furture of GoaNet
Hi, i don't know what's the technical difference between Goanet and Goa Book Club. If the GBC way is better, so it should be impleted. To me, content is King. How to get the make goanet buzz with activity? FB has tiartr sites where music video links are featured. I get news of new videos and songs. I recently got Cd of Omor Mogachi Kanni, by Babli, daughter of Bab Peter and Ophelia. The song of the day by Con Nenezes was the start, and occassional posting by Gabe was a follow-up. Now it has swelled. Hope it doesn't tyrn into a flood. Eugene Sent from my iPad > On Jul 25, 2018, at 12:45 PM, Eddie wrote: > > Hi all, > > 1.

Re: [Goanet] Furture of GoaNet
Hi Eddie, I started on writing out a long response, but got distracted since the answer would have been very long. Anyway, here's a short reply: * While there are more glitzy formats, plain-text is still low-weight, virus-free and accessible on all platforms and devices. * Our experience has been when there is a heavy load of postings (either in number or size), then the number of subscribers stops growing. * Anyone wanting to share images can use Goanet@Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/goanet/ It not only allows for images, but even video links can be posted there. And it has some 10,000+ subscribers. * I don't think the Goa-Book-Club has any advantage from allowing formatted posts. We just use Googlegroups, because it doesn't cost any money to maintain it there. Mailman (which Goanet uses) has a lot of advantages; it runs off your own server. It is unlikely to get taken over or collapse (remember Egroups, or even what happened to Yahoogroups recently). Its archives are easier to maintain and search, though we sometimes have hiccups here too. Also shifting over large lists can cause problems in themselves.

[Goanet] Furture of GoaNet
Hi all, 1. I have addressed individuals in this post because for some reason GoaNet does not accept my posts. Just ignores them. 2. I have been enjoying Roland's music posts. Never heard most of them before. 3. I had proposed to FN that GoaNet be upgraded/modernised. How? By converting to a FORMATTED version, so it is on par with Goa Book Club. We can then include bold/italic/images in submitted posts. I've not had a response from FN and am tempted to conclude that for some reason he is less than enthusiastic. In my view, it will be much more attractive to contribute to the formatted GoaNet. Would Roland & Eugene offer support?
