Who, then, shall we overburden?  ;-)

Denise is checking into (may already have checked into) this.


All the best....

What would be cool is to have a bloging night or workshop where we
can be educated on how easy it is to work the Wiki on our site.
Words don't work for me as I am totally computer challenged. I need
to SEE it. And that leads to another problem- no 
internet connection
at the Heritage. A few meetings ago, Vern 
mentioned that Road Runner
exists some where at the Heritage and he would set up the equipment
if someone would check it out. Let's make this an agenda item  to
discuss on Thursday and get the ball rolling without having to over
burden Vern.  Marvin

Though I am excited by your enthusiasm, I would recommend you
prepare to be one of the few (or the only) ones to make any changes
to any new site you create.

-The front page of TheRobotGroup.org is a Wordpress site. I think
the consensus is that Wordpress is "ridiculously easy" to maintain.

-We also have a WIKI-based portion of the our web site where *any*
member can make a page and maintain useful info about themselves
and their projects.

-In addition, we have the MEETUP.COM site that has a group calendar
and a place to add photos from events.

Sadly, with all these "ridiculously easy" places to input useful
and recent data, even with some 60-odd (pun intended) "official"
group members, there is very little activity. For example, our
wordpress-based web site hasn't been updated in 5 months.

It would appear that "YAWS" (yet another web site) won't lead to a
flood of helpful TRG member bloggers making our online presence
interesting, dynamic and fresh.

No one is really interested in doing it so it doesn't get done
(unless I do it that is).
