sounds good jason.

it seems like just making sure the information is flowing as the site starts to come live will be important.  design discussion on editorial makes sense.  this will encompass features and more and hopefully we can get input from larger community as well as we move forward.

there are many people who have sent in volunteer forms that have web design interest.  it would be great to see who of all these folks in the database are available and have the time to jump in now.  would someone be willing to work on this piece?  using the database to contact folks interested in web design for the site?  it can't hurt tapping into some of this volunteer support.  there's also people who have tech experience as well.  i think it would be a good  opportunity to pull in more tech resources and support.  that's why we all worked so hard to make the database a viable tool.

thanks for all the hard work with migrating and finding servers, colocation etc.

peace,
sheri
