Re: moderators, files, and sites

2003-05-16 by underneathheaven

Maybe Vern could just host a file holding site??  This way we could 
keep the site where it is but continue to add optional photos and 
songs to an alternative site.  I think the more important files 
should stay here, such as manuals and people to contact and such.  
We could keep a text file named the web address to verns place in 
the files section so people would immediatly see where to go for 
more files.  Or maybe in big bold letters we could place it on the 
front page introducing the group...I don't know, help!
