Thank you, Chuck, for pointing out to all of us: (including the tyrant bitch
pardon my language Leann) time to act the board members we are.
The GGA represents everyone in the gecko world: Leann (writer of the
Idiots Guide to Phelsuma), Hervé (French gecko keeper), Repashy, Seipp and
Chris
Just as a suggestion: If the old GGA site is to be maintained due to the
traffic that gets there, perhaps just a tab on the site for the new forum
should be installed in a manner where it is plainly visible.

Changes for Year 7
Agreed.
Changes to Chit Chat and publications can be considered for Year 7.
Agreed.
Does anyone know what the timeframe required for the GGA to fulfill its
publication responsibilities - ex. Year 5 or 6,
As pitiful as it is, the GGA website is a heavily trafficed site.
Statistics say it's one of the top Google and yahoo referals for geckos.
It's been there for so long. It's was set up very well for webbots to find.
I wonder what people refer to for? There is very little info., resources,
Sounds good, Jon. How about all the board members visit the GGA forum and
post approval, comments (or say nay - informal vote), then a link can be put
on the website? There is already a page on the GGA web for forum
information and link.

I refer people to the bookstore, to membership and to the gecko photos
for ID questions.

Some more people have registered (I get notifications) for the forums so

Hi all, especially Julie I think...
I would like to see the statistics for the website, especially if we
have kept a history. I have trouble believing it is a heavily
trafficked site now, but I could be wrong. It would also give us a
background and something to aim for in getting more
Ive been getting notices too, so assume that Herve must have sent the link
on to other non-board members to have a look. Id actually prefer not
yanking the membership around, from place to place, and waiting until we
have a near final product before sending in the troops. Im not even sure

Ah, the membership year. It is not 12 months
A GGA Membership year, to date, is based on publications. Sometimes it
would take a year and a half to get 2 Gekko and 4 Chit Chats out, sometimes
it would take four years.
No kidding.

Gekko 1.1, 1.2

Melody and all,
I see nothing wrong with a new version of the website using the
www.gekkota.com domain. Make a new website, move it there. I don't see
the issue since this domain is paid for for the next five years and the
traffic is already there (I'm sure Leann will provide some reports).

When I get some time (no kidding) I can pull some of those stats. They are
very interesting.
Sorry I don't have the time right away. Hungry geckos

There is only one yearly (as in 12 months) expense for the GGA: the
website/domain name.
After working on the budget now for two weeks, it is not all that complex
for someone with experience with finances.
Since the only yearly expense is the website, then it's the GGA's
overhead. All other
Let me try to illustrate what I think is going on. This is either gonna make
it easier to understand or just confuse everyone.
The GGA pays Hostway each year for space (gga website), bandwidth, and
features (Board listserve).
The space holds our website (o=the GGA web at www.gekkota.com):
Great news all, I just got a heads up from a new member I recruited a
few months back in Oregon that she got her Chit Chat today and was
excited about it!

Hi all,
I just looked at gekkota.com, though not in great detail. I don't see
any reason to abandon the work that has gone into that. A lot of things
-- photos, care sheets. sounds, etc., would be the same. I'm thinking
it rather needs a makeover or new face, and some things, like
I would agree with Melody's assessment. If several of us know HTML we
could perhaps be assigned different areas to correct mistakes, suggest
updating, etc. to help out the web team? I can help!
I got Samia's e-mail, I don't understand why we should abandon the
website we have and why we can't
Here's Samia's proposal:
Hello all,
I am Samia from Morocco, and I am 20 years old. I live and study in Rabat.
Hervé talked to me about the GGA issues with having an effective and
modern interface on the Internet.
We have both discussed and it appears any website in html would take
months
Sorry for any inconvenience. I indeed activated Elizabeth Freer as she is a GGA
member and I am not making it a mystery me and her are gecko friends, avoiding
to talk about the GGA but exchanging correspondence on geckos, our lives,
ect...I just thought her opinion would be helpful to me as
I think it's fine to have Elizabeth. She has and is a trusted GGA member.
As a former board member, I welcome her input.
