New Member Checkin

[BradM]

Good Morning from Webster, NY - (http://buffalo.wikispot.org/Users/
BradMandell)

Thought I would stop by and put in a few words about the use of BufWik
external mashups, such as Google Groups, to improve the usefulness and
development of the site.

I had mentioned to Dave the somewhat disparate goals for the Google
Group and that more than one might be advised.

It seems this should be the Admin/Development group that I mentioned
and you might consider making it members only with approved
membership. It gives you freer expression, prevents vandals from using
info from the group to exploit you, etc

Maybe the second one I mentioned could be BufWikiInfo - I actually
prefer Yahoo Groups to Google Groups, but with Yahoo in some danger, I
guess Google is still the safest long term bet. The main purpose for
the Info group would be Push (email) communication with interested
parties. Another approach would be to encourage folks to use RSS feed
from a communications page, but that can create obstacles (which you
don't want) with the technologically challenged or adverse (:;>}

A third possible forum you may need is for conflict resolution (which
really does need to be off the BufWiki site. Conflicts are better
resolved in a less public forum with one or more referees..

Dividing them up allows you to use the Group's admin controls which
you will need in some cases.

I will post some of my thoughts on "Stakeholders" and the burden it
places on BufWiki and its owner/developers.

Am happy to have been able to help you get started.

I like the idea of this being a group for administrative matters. I've
added the info to the BufWiki http://buffalo.wikispot.org/Wiki_Community/Mailing_List

Having two more groups is fine as well, but since I don't have
experience on how they would be use, I don't have as clear of a sense
what this would be like. I'm sure I will as they are being used.

Happy Holidays from BuffaloBobWiki the Gmail equivalent to (http:/
buffalo.wikispot.org/users/BuffaloBob) on BufWiki. I was created by
Brad Mandell as a documentation and example user who may occasionally
contribute tidbits to BufWiki and who has an external email address
that Brad will use to contact photo owners, etc for authorization,
send info to other sites about BufWiki, etc.

BuffaloBobWiki recently made an entry in Buffalo Craigslist wishing
everyone a Happy Holidays and urging them to check out BufWiki
