Max, in reply to this--

I volunteer to do it-- using some of the copy I have shared with you in the past, know what I mean? *G* I have been to a lot of boards this year-- I think I know the range of approaches people have used. I'd work with a 'Cat Committee to develop a standard one, too. (A Kittee?)

I accept your efforts, thank you. Shouldn't be too hard, Joe has already done much. - Max

I will be in touch with you and Joe first as soon as we get back from vacation mid-August, after we all see and enjoy the new format, about creating the welcome process based on Joe's excellent work. Perhaps Jeff will have some ideas on how to work the auto-notify thing about new signups. A key will be making it brief and snappy with links to lengthier stuff. In the meantime I have e-mailed you a sample from another message board community. I'll see if I have any others saved, for the Kittee to discuss, and batch them for review. I promise, we will keep it simple.

People who want to join the Kittee should PM or e-mail me. I have some idears on invites as well.

~Susan

Thanks Susan. Joe has some work ahead of him to change the FAQ due to the new changes (no AskSam, different color references, auto line breaks, etc) so he may need our help. - Max
