[Nobbc] Status on assuming Ron's duties

[Sarto Rocheleau]

Hi Greg, I'm not a big user of the different sites but I do like
lotuselan.net.  Maybe not as involved, but it lets photos of parts needed,
shows what others have done,  photos of member's cars and events.  It is
easier for me than any of the other sites I've been on.  Not understanding
what it would take to set up and manage such a system and if it would even be
feasible for our needs.  Just a thought.

Hi John,

I have been considering this, but it's only been a week or so since we learned
of Ron's death, and I think Candy will be happy to do what she can to help the
transition.

The trouble with starting new a new Facebook account is that the old one will
still exist, unattended and confusing people with two NOBBC accounts on
Facebook.

There is no need to start a new autox email list account, as the
administrator's account has been transferred to me already, but Mark needs to
reset the password to my own. Given the holiday, I expect this will get worked
out soon enough.

Picassa is free, and though it has limitations, is a good option for simple
photo and video sharing. Dan likes Facebook because people can add material to
it, making it more interactive. I'm on the fence, so it would be good to hear
from other members to get a consensus on how much they value Facebook for the
club.

Wendell is working on talking with Tcherek about the web site, so that should
get squared away soon.

The membership list will be the bugaboo; hopefully Ron printed a copy fairly
recently, or his brother, who has remote access can find the file and forward
it to me. Again, we need to be a little patient. It's a busy time for the
family. We are still functional and can get together for drives, we just don't
have access to data or the ability to manage the Facebook or email accounts.

All of the passwords I have or will establish for the club are in a book,
where Trish can get to it. I'll tell you where it is when we get together, but
I don't think the passwords should be distributed. One exception may be that
if I set up a Picassa account so that members can post pictures to it, a
member-only password might be a good idea.

Thanks for the input, John,

Greg
