Hey Larry! First off, thanks for all you've done, and continue to do for U2UG and U2 users. It's greatly appreciated.
My .02 is that the user group have a constant, positive "face to the world". My choice is that everything that comes from, or goes to U2UG is tagged as U2UG.ORG. Currently, it's confusing! New u2ug Pres David Jordan is taking a fresh look at where the group is, and more importantly, where the group wants to be... keeping in mind how u2ug can best to serve the U2 community. In my mind, the consistent use of a domain name across the board is crucial to presenting this "positive" face. This means that all links to and from the u2ug web site, the u2ug wiki, mail messages, forum postings, mail to, mail from, board mailings etc. ALL need to be tagged as from U2UG.org, not the multiple domains we currently have. I'm told this isn't easy. I haven't been told it isn't possible, so, I'm trying. Our 'face to the world' needs to be U2UG.ORG on all fronts. Larry, anything you can do to help, or educate me if I'm way off base :) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for all you do. !

The change to a new provider - with more capacity - is one step towards rewriting the site (finally), itself part of a very exciting set of proposals the board are putting together for the direction in which we wish to be taking the group. We will be putting out a release over the next few weeks to the members to outline our strategy, and I have to say personally I think its a great direction that David J has encouraged and that will make the group genuinely more useful to all its members. Thats the teaser, now you're all going to have to wait - ha, ha! Now the complication is (isnt there always?) that u2ug.org domain is owned by one of our members who very kindly looks after this email list. There are no plans to change the list, and so we keep that name for email. At some point I hope he will also redirect the web traffic to the new site so it remains consistent, it just hasn't happened yet.
