[nnc-list] The Email List, Website, etc.

[Eric Weik]

Hi everyone,

Your reclusive, anti-social Webmaster(ish) here.   I have three things:

1) Anyone who is subscribed to this list can post to this list.  To 
post, simply send a message to:
nnc-list at northernneckcycling.org

So if folks want to organize weekend rides again, please feel free to do 
so.  But please don't feel limited to larger organized rides.  If you 
want to find someone fun ride some week-night (or whatever), go ahead 
and post (at least a few days ahead of time of course). 

2) When someone posts to the list, you can reply back to the list by 
hitting the "reply all" option in most mail client s (Outlook, 
Thunderbird, Mail.app, or whatever).   If you hit "reply" it will go 
directly to the original poster. 

3) With Fletcher gone, and Donald not posting routes and such this year 
(Donald, are you still on this list?), we should decide what to do with 
the site.  I originally built the it with a "content management system" 
that is fairly easy to use (point and click uploads of images, maps, 
routes, etc.).   Is there anyone out there who would like to take over 
the role of maintaining the site?  I will continue to provide the server 
if anyone is interested, and will apply security patches etc. to the CMS 
itself, but I don't really have the time or inclination to maintain the 
content. 

If not, perhaps we should scale back the site to basically just point 
people to this mailing list (or ditch this list entirely and set up a 
Yahoo or Google group).   Keeping the routes (and maps) that Donald and 
Fletcher set up seems like it would be nice too, but I don't know how 
others feel about it. 

Or just play it by ear and see if the group itself picks up again.

Feel free to reply on the list (I'd like to keep the group involved in 
the discussion).  Or perhaps we should actually get together some 
evening and discuss the future of the group as a whole. 

Take care,
Eric
