A few opinions from the current "webmaster", expecially
about the calendar:
1. It is NO trouble to rotate the calendar, but that's
if I'm doing it. There is a little skill involved,
i.e., just knowing where things are on the site.
I get messages from people, and weave the messages into
the page. The result is a coherent and personable
feel, which I happen to like (and for which I can
take no credit -- the site already looked like that).
The Davis group's site looks too busy, for my taste.
It would be great to have a web-based maintenance
system so that more than one authorized person
(not requiring user-IDs on UnityWave.com) could
insert or modify calendar items. But in all reality,
face it, probably one person will bear this
responsibility at any given time. We are a small
volunteer group. Each person has a niche, and is
too busy to branch out and do other stuff.
2. We already DO have a perfectly functional mailing
list devoted to mainenance of this site:
http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-webdev
People who would seriously like to collaborate on
maintaining the EXISTING site with specific ideas
or content should join that list, and we should run
a somewhat organized "meeting" there.
3. This other content-management stuff is just more
vaportalk until someone grabs the lead and decides
to do it. The access necessary to do that on the
existing site is probably available -- I am hoping
to have a handful of accounts set up for people
collaborating on the site.
