Right now we need a few people that will take shifts monitoring the mail lists, greeting people who announce to the list they would like to help, and on-boarding people with basic information on what is online, what is being worked on, and where to go for more information.

We will work with the online groups to define standard greeting/orientation messages that they approve.

Also needed, mail list administrators who understand the capabilities of the mail list tools being used and evaluate how to get online:

a mail list solution that is intelligent enough to greet non-list members with a welcome and orientation message (google groups can NOT do this)
work with various groups on setup and management of announce type mail lists (outbound communication only)
define lists for incoming request for info and volunteers

All of this would be in co-ordination with the various working groups and their stated needs.

The FLO recommended free network foundation solution is probably the better way to go long term. If someone is familiar with all the capabilities of the FNF based mail lists and can take a look at if non-member default greeting reply e-mails are possible with that tool, it would be awesome.

Hi All,

I'd like to post OWS blog-type content (occasional articles, images,
video), but it's not enough to support a blog all by itself.  Would
someone like some content or else possibly create a group blog?  I
know wordpress and can offer hosting if necessary.
