Re: Web Page Redesign

[John I Jones <jijones@usjoneses.com>]

The board can set a policy about pictures, but I don't think Medal  
winners is broad enough a category. In the 10 years or so that I have  
been responsible for the website, I have not had one complaint about  
the pictures that have been (or not been) displayed.

If we wanted to, we could charge a fee to be included in the rotation  
so hybridizers could place their most recent introductions.

Whatever the board decides on.
