1.  I have been thinking of adding a "Trading Post" to www.nelug.org.

This area would allow for two ways to post 1. If someone allready has a
trading
page I could just link to it.  2.  People could submit their pieces needed to
me and I would post them on a simple text page that would be updated
periodically.

This sounds like a good idea to me, but I'd suggest doing the page in a list
format and perhaps only making it available to folks who pay a certain amount
in dues (even if it's a very small level).  If a member with any amount of • time
and ability could, doing it with a CGI script (maybe a modified guestbook?)
would save you the effort of inputting the data by hand (although you might
still need to remove entries after trades are found/parts are no longer
needed).

I like the idea... and I could probably write the CGI to do it (actually I was
talking a little to Nugator.com about it too) but not just at the moment... I'm
probably pretty busy until October (I'm going almost every night after work to
work on the Lego model for the folks at the Littleton music school, and will be
until it's done, probably until October) I think we talked a little about this
at the first meeting... are we allowed to put up cgi scripts? What kind of
access do we have to whoever is providing the webspace? Will they let us?

Should I continue to cross post all of these messages or not?

I'd say crosspost meeting announcements, but move other general discussion to
somewhere else.

Wasn't there talk of a clubs/organisations hierarchy?  Was that scrapped
completely, or is there a chance for an NELUG LUGNET group?

Hmm... I'd say it similarly... post definite meeting announcements, etc. to all
the NE states, but keep the discussion stuff within the Mass. or Boston group.
Besides, if someone from Maine wants to check the status of NELUG, for
instance, they can always just check the Massachusetts group (provided they
know it's there... I guess we could mention that in the meeting announcements?)

Laterz,
DaveE
