We've had some good stuff in the works for LUGNET. Two items are ready to
announce today.. I hope you'll be as excited as I am!

** LEGO Dacta joins LUGNET **
Pitsco - LEGO Dacta will now be participating in discussions here on LUGNET • via
their own discussion area:
   http://news.lugnet.com/lego/dacta/
This area is for Q&A and community dialogue about the company and its • products.
Like the LEGO Direct newsgroup already in place, this area is a two-way • channel.
All of us can take pride in the fact that we were contacted by PLD based on • the
quality of our community. I hope their presence will invite existing • communities
of educators into LUGNET - forming a blend that would be beneficial not just • to
us, but for students as well.

** Curatorships to be available in newsgroups **
We're starting a new program for member participation. Each discussion area
(newsgroup) may have its own "curator" - an individual member assigned access • to
the web interface's news page for that group. It allows editing of sidebar
contents and the creation of new web pages for that group. These will be • created
as FTX documents.

Info about writing FTX documents for building web pages:

Curators may also collect related FAQ data for within their area and for
possible submission to a master FAQ, but curators shouldn't be defined as
"leaders of" or "experts in" their areas. Selection of curators will be done • by
LUGNET Admin, but suggestions are welcome. Keep in mind that this includes all
the LUGs, as well as the theme groups and info areas.

Stay tuned for a more detailed announcement when this feature is activated.
Discussion about the program will take place in a new newsgroup:
