Jerry's note might appear with funny line breaks (depending on how large your font is set). Just in case, here is his message again:

All right! Here we are. Please be gentle. This is a work in progress. There will be bugs to work out, but the difference is that we have an active webmaster who cares in the form of Ms. Jackie Wilferd, who is proprietor of www.wines.com. I've been working with her for several years with my own projects and can tell you she IS a straight shooter.

For the time being, I will serve as chief moderator just to get started, but the plan is to work as a team of moderators since that seemed to work well at FDN. The other moderators will be announced in the very near future.

We were going to get everything plotted out with a near complete list of folders and as many bugs worked out as possible, but decided (both because we need the help and because you all were very curious) to call on the group to help with the suggestions.

So...here's your chance. Make suggestions for new folder titles, changes in the existing folder titles, changes in the system itself assuming the software is adaptable), and even a title for this new site. In fact, we'll make it a bit of a contest...I'll throw in a bottle of very good California Cab (or meritage) to whoever comes up with the name or the new board.

Let's don't start to publicize the site quite yet...kind of keeping within the group. It should only take a week or two to fine tune it and then we can tell the world, have link set up from the www.wines.com front page and so on.

Welcome to the Goldwyn-free zone (for those who are very upset with Craig) and think of this as YOUR board.
