Hi all, While away in the Bahamas in heavenly Eleuthera at The Rainbow Inn (amazing place, by the by), I got thinking how little people use Hidden-Tech's best HIDDEN resource -- The FORUMS on the web site. Rich Roth spent a lot of time, energy and personal income to build those tools for us and they lie wasted because it's easier to use the discussion list. In time, as you weigh in and hopefully decide to invest something in the organization (that is some cash), the board can build the tools that will make it easier to navigate the web site. That will be up to you and the board to decide. But RIGHT NOW at this VERY MOMENT you can use the forums to communicate with like-minded clusters about whatever you want without driving others nuts on the list. When I can clear off time, I'm going to set up some topics and invite folks to meet me at the FORUMS. Here they are: Technology and Kids Cooperative Vacation Planning -- the first being Caribbean Co-op The Stupa Building Project for Tiny Stacy (already launched on the list) The board had discussed putting out weekly alerts about FORUM topics, but that has never been developed. So, when I post new information on these subjects I'll simply post a notice to the discussion list and invite anyone interested to leave messages ON THE FORUMS not for the whole list. Hey, we all know that lots of emails that don't interest us are annoying, so why not take the burden off the list and go to the Web site? If you bookmark this it's only a few clicks away. best, Amy Zuckerman Hidden-Tech Founder Founder - Virtual Giving/Virtual Faith and Caribbean Co-op
