All:

Great Job, Gaxzanfar! Thansk for al the time you've spent this weekkend on GWAPA !

Re forum sturucture:

Did we want an area for articles? Members only or open?

Area for aquascaping and design? Members or Open?

Conferences & Open Events Open - I think

Members Events - Members only, I think post minutes here, also agenda for futhore meetings.

Any others?

Area to post monthly newsletter in pdf, when we get newsletter up & running?

I added the Article section in but its Members only.
Conferences & open events would probably go under
News & Events - open to everyone

Members events - should we keep these seperate?
Do you think it'd be a good idea to let anyone peek
at that - may give them an idea of what goes on
at the meetings etc and hopfully they'll join?

I'll setup a section for the news letter once we
get that going.

<u>Great![/U}
About The Water flea market (I really like the name!).. That's our own swap meet, right?
Do we need to add another for:
<ul><li>GWAPA Sponsors? </li><li>Commercial Breeders & Suppliers?</li></ul>
I've just been looking at othert sites... These are ideas that we can hold for further input...

Folks:

I spoke with the owner of the LFS yesterday, and told hm about the new Forum. We talekd about the possibility of having a "Sponsors" area for commercial entities that would like to announce their specials, etc to their promary clientele..

What do you think?

Sponsor or Industry member? Regular prces or $25.00/ $50.00 / $100 / year?

Give them access to the list, and to thier own area to post ads to the list?

Just thinking...

not a bad idea IMO but it should be taken up
by the board. Let's wait on this one till the new
board gets in.

i think outsiders should be able to read about the cool stuff we do, especially events.

i was wondering if someone could change the home page since it states we meet every other month. as for articles, maybe nonmembers could have access to the title and a brief summary (for longer articles). this could be enticing.

The summary idea is good but I don't want to hack
the code. When the next version of this forum software
comes out I'd like a smooth upgrade. Hacking the
code my proove to be more trouble than its worth.

"hack the code"? this must be some real computer talk. I am not sure if it's worth it. by summary i meant like an abstract for an scientific article.

e.g. KH---more important than you think (title)
GG discusses how he found through trial and error the proper amount of CO2 and seachem buffer necessary to turn the water into a fountain of youth (or viagra) for your hard to spawn fish, and how this benefits the plants as well. (summary)

i know i want to read about that...perhaps BBA?
