Ok I guess it's time to revisit this since I'm up late and have some free
time. First things first though.

Some people requested a tfug.org address. Anyone wanting one please e-mail
me at bigj at tfug dot org from your listserv subscribed address. I will
be confirming these so don't e-mail from some other address as I will
reply back with a 'DUH' :)

In it needs to be the addy you want. I will reply back with a random
password and instructions on how to access it. Be patient as I am only one
person (when I take my meds) and have a FT job.

Enough with that. Onward.

It appears some people are interested in redesigning the site. Thanks god.
I lack any ability to think creatively let alone imagine what I'll be
doing tomorrow.

I would like to throw in a few of my ideas:

1) I'd like to see a new logo. No ideas other than that.
2) It was suggested the 'helpdesk' go away. I'd like to keep it as it does
give google more things to index on.
3) Move the list archives in to something more searchable. I think Mhonarc
was suggested a long time ago.
4) A link for other local vendors/groups is a great idea. Bravo.

Any other ideas?

Last thing.

Who wanted the Cisco training stuff on the site? E-mail me off the list
and we'll talk now.
