Re: Website Content

[Robert Pries <robertpries@embarqmail.com>]

I think I agree, but I am not sure. The members section of the website should cretainly have material that is not available for free, But some types of material may be best presenred in both areas. In such a case information in one area may lead to a suggestion of further information in the other. This is tricky because a topic may be something that we want everyone to know, yet there could be further development or a different approach that makes it worth being an e-mamber and seeing both. The goal would be to provide a richer experience for those that are helping to support the organization while still providing a rewarding experience for those that are not.

Glad to hear it Bob. I agree on the coordination issue and would also  
like to make the point that we should, at all costs, avoid  
duplicating information on different sections of the website (public  
vs membership)

thanks
