[Communications] Forum on Website

[Lorraine Kells]

Hello,

I finally had a phone conversation with Briana Villarubia who with Danielle
Russell led the workshop,* Organizing Your Garden Team- Ideas and Tools for
Change*.  As you may recall the presenters stated they never got to the
heart of their presentation because everyone had problems to discuss. The
take away from the conference was that the folks in the workshop wanted a
forum where they and other gardeners could continue networking and post
issues and gardeners with helpful solutions could post their suggestions
and fixes. Both Briana and Danielle have made this clear in recent phone
calls and email. I believe we misinterpreted what was being sought because
we had not had a detailed conversation with either of them. I can go over
the email attachment they sent or forward it.

To be clear, these gardeners at the workshop were not soliciting a meeting,
a workshop or anyget-together with CCGA nor do they seek to be led by CCGA.
They want to communicate with each other in discussions unbound by
presenters.  Obviously a forum would need an administrator that sees ensure
people post respectfully. There would be a boiler plate about blocking a
sender from future posts. This might be one of the website editors who gets
an alert when posts are made or someone checks on it once a week.  I don't
really know how this gets set up but I hope we can try it out.

Please feel free to communicate with Briana or Danielle if you feel this
needs more input from them. Anyone willing to take this to our website?

Lorraine
