Hi, all.
I've been mulling over the idea of starting a Yahoo group for SAC. This
would not replace our current e-lists, but would supplement them. There are
a few advantages to a Yahoo group, to wit:
(1) You can upload files to a "Files" library for all to look at.
(2) You can upload images to a pictures library.
(3) You can conduct surveys and polls very easily.
My intent would be to set up a moderated group (which means membership to
the group must be approved by the moderator, who would be me) and the
moderator would have the ability to block abusive members.
The Yahoo group format protects us from spammers if used properly. Members
have the option of getting a daily digest of the emails with hyperlinks to
the individual notes that look interesting, or can download a daily batch
file of all daily emails, or download individual emails as they are posted.
Is there any interest in such an idea?
