RE: [PLUG] Mailing List maintenance

[kaze <kaze@voicenet.com>]

Here are the points, below, that ring true with me. Additionally
<http://www.xulin.net/plug/> feels too 'bubbly'. To give props to Darxus
lets just update and make more intuitive what we already have - not break
anything.

I would love for the list to accept Iman's volunteerism as then at least the
site could be up to date content-wise. Design by committee is _not_ gonna
work here - at all. We do need it to be obvious to the un-subscribed web
viewer that the upcoming meetings page is up to date. Also we need to get
presenters lined up.

Insofar as trick spoilers, how about a plug-announce message goes out
automatically whenever the upcoming meetings page is changed (with a limit
of one trigged message every day or something.)

It's all about content. To me PLUG is a listserve and to a lesser extent
monthly meeting. The webpage is just a doormat to that.
