Not just newbies.....I am with Susan ...I only have time to check one place
most of the time ...I only go into the forums if someone posts a link to it and
I have no idea about anything called evite or whatever. What is wrong with
keeping it on the newgroup mailing list? It is geocaching related after
all.....set up an initial email and get some responses then take it to private
mail. Make a final announcment on the mailing list stating all important
facts....date..time...place etc. when the day is close. so that anyone who
might be interested can go if they please. I do not worry if someone comes to a
group hunt of mine without telling me they are coming....it is not a big deal

Sarah,
You bring a good point. Let me take this time to thank *gln for making
geo-caching a reality. If it was not for him and hundred of other
volunteers geo-caching would not really be here today.
I would think *gln would have to approve it only once. I don't think
that would be "hundreds" of group cache events coming up for *gln to
approve. But I might be wrong....
I think all the GC so far have been well organized, an example would be
today's Washington, MO. We had more than 10 people in attendance, we had
a list of GC to be done, we have a meeting place and time. I see no
reason why this would have not been a good candidate to be a GC event.
GC has a good system to keep those interested updated on what has been
happening.
We might even have MORE people attending if we put on GC instead of
doing a "third party" system or what we are currently doing. I feel the
whole purpose for GC is to include people, specially those just getting
started.
I don't feel newbie's will be able to navigate thru gc, slaga newsgroup
and a third Evite system.
Cheers !
Marcos.

Then we would be flooding the GC site and giving glen more work to do,
I just read someting the other day that GC wasn't the proper place to
list group hunts unless they were well organized events.
I personally would favor having a forum on hte GeoSTL page that they
could be posted on. As someone else pointed out then you have to scroll
through to see who all is coming but if you had the ability to edit
posts then the original poster of the group hike could go in an update
the original poat with any changes in details. Then people wouldn't have
to scroll other than to see others confirmations on attendances.
But I also like Bridget's Evite Idea but I think if it was sent to the
group that the group list server would strip some of the stuff out of
the email since it's sent in html format.
