When you head south on Main Street you'll see a sign at what many people know at Tanneberger's old house that says "Bonnycroft". Turn up the driveway and come in throught the main door on the side porch.

Organizational Meeting

Hi folks,

I would like to organize a meeting ASAP to begin working on this.

Please let me know your availability for a two-hour opener next week, and let’s plan to have two more meetings prior to March 4.

At the first meeting, I’d like us to discuss the purpose of the website and the intended market or markets that we want to hit. We’ll use that to describe a scope of work. We should also discuss the relationship between the existing site and its purpose and the new site.

After we decide on the purpose and the market and get a general scope, we should gather information on development and hosting, which should give us an idea of the upfront costs and potential maintenance costs, as well as who’s in charge of the maintenance.

The last meeting before March 4 will be a meeting to summarize the findings, and compile a presentation of options to present to the Chamber for comment.

If anyone has additional input, please contact me at your convenience. I’m looking forward to this – should be some right good fun!

Many thanks,
Chris

Website Revision Committe Directive

[the following was an email message from George King outlining the objectives of the new website subcommittee formed on 2/7/08]

This message is to confirm discussions held last evening concerning the formation of a committee to address a revamping of the website. The primary addresses above constitute the members of the committee. The exception is Adam Facteau who as the advisor at the school and is responsible for providing a student to work on the committee (in this instance it is Spencer Mehr).

The committee is to set its own timetable and procedures. Chris Casquilho has valiantly agreed to chair the committee. The broad outlines of what is desired is as follows:

1. The committee is to start initially from a "tabula rasa" and there are no preconceived requirements for the website with the exception that it should be the best possible product.

2. The committee should explore all possible means for development and hosting. This means looking at various firms that do this and see what they can bring to the table. A comparison of these firms and their strengths and weaknesses is desirable.

3. The committee should, after development of their own options, look at the existing website with an eye towards what should be retained of the existing website.

4. The committee should explore a business model as to how the website revision and operation will be financed.

5. The committee should develop and present all possible options that they have developed to the marketing group for their comment and input within the next month. This input will be incorporated into the website as much as possible.

6. The committee should be prepared to provide a status report to the Chamber Board at the next chamber meeting on 4 March.

Should questions arise at any time during the process; Mollie Kasriels, George Maffey, Dee Carroll and I will be readily available. Do not hesitate to contact any one of us.

Thanks for volunteering and good luck. Geo
