1) Me to.
2) yes, member stats also. that would not be of much interest to folks
outside of STL anyway.
3) we could decide on all that sometime. the current maillist is
generally a slaga only list. i dont think there is anyone on the list
that is not associated with slaga. I could provide tighter
integration, ie, only subbed to the elist if i get a members application
1st.
4) correct. the geostl email account just forwards to the users current
real account.

got to run to get some stuff done.

I chatted but no one listened. It's just like at home.
a) members only. good idea. Those are both very popular areas. How about the "Member stats"?
b & c) Having a members only page would be a good idea and easy to do but how would it get updated and by whom? Maybe SLAGA members need a different maillist for the current one.
e) Email would be good and it could be forwarded to an existing user email so they wouldn't need to setup another account in their email program.

- Subject: [GeoStL] chat room.. and value added services
- - I) a long time ago i set up a chat room. for the most part, nobody came to chat so i removed the links.
- the ability to have a basic chat room is included with our new web server stuff but it was never implemented
- If anyone is interested in such a thing, i placed a link to the chat area on THE LOCAL NEWS. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=4595
- enter any nickname and press enter. It is a very basic chat room but it works. If this a popular sort of thing, maybe we can investigate re implementing a fancy system.
- You will need to announce that you want to hang out in the chat room so folks would know to go there. it might be fun.
- a while back, i set up 2 computers to do voice chat using AOL's Instant Messaging service. that was kind of fun too.
- -------------------
- II) a few days ago a geocacher mentioned that there were really no benefits to "belonging to" SLAGA. They could check the website, and keep up on news without belonging so why bother. Hmm, good thought. I would like to develop some info that would make it worthwhile to join. Any thoughts?
- Some thoughts.....
- a) I would like to make the "recent logs, new and archive caches" a "members only" item. Thats Easy to do.
- b) Yesterday I announced two new caches on the mail list here. As a members benefit, I will give the SLAGA members here a few days to find them before i open them up to the rest of the geocachers in st. louis..
- c) we could have a handful of SLAGA ONLY caches that are only posted in a members only area of our website.
- d) We could offer a special YOURNAME@xxxxxxxxxx email that might be something.
- we already have group hikes and get togethers.
- anything else that would add value to a SLAGA membership?
- membership cards with decoder rings!!
- (i once had a purply car too!)
- got to run and get a few things done today....
