... our group's new website

[Dinesh Valke]

Dear friends,

Our group has come a long way -- much of the credit goes to Garg ji for his zeal and zest for leading it in a very meaningful manner.
Many thanks to all the members of the group too -- for giving it a large shape.

With Google developing newer products, each of which can be seamlessly used, they decided to reduce some of their duplicated features.
Google Sites is one of their new product -- which in some way resulted in removal of sections of Google Groups, like "Pages" and "Files".

The need to create a website for our group thus became necessary -- so a site was made with bare minimum pages in the last month (DEC10).
Garg ji has managed wonderfully to bring in all the pages and files to this new site in a very short time.

Please visit our group's website:https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/

Regards,
Dinesh

Great Job Dinesh ji and Garg ji.

If you ever think of taking own server or separate website like Efloraindia.org, please remember me. I will be fortunate to extend financial help.

Great work Dinesh ji and Garg ji.

Wonder if you ever sleep or work 24 hrs. Even in 24 hrs are not enough for the work you are doing.

Great.

Thanks to the far sightedness of Dinesh ji, we have entered the new year with our own website:
https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/. It was the same farsightedness of Dinesh ji that we have Itpmods e-group (for discussion among moderators of Efloraofindia), which have proved very crucial to our progress. I have put lot of information related to the day to day working of Efloraofindia & good work done by our moderators & members from archives. But still lot of work still needs to be done. Beauty of Efloraofindia is that different moderators & members have voluntarily taken up different works for the progress of Efloraofindia. Whatever good works/ contributions appear in the mails have now found an ideal place in Efloraofindia website on permanent basis.

I have made necessary changes as requested by Nalini ji. I request everybody to go through & give their feedback.

Great work Dinesh ji and Garg ji. One feels proud to be part of such selfless effort in which interactions are becoming more and more pleasant. Many new members who joined recently have really added the value of the group.

   Thanks Dinesh ji for the initiative and giving it a final shape.

This is really nice and great effort by Garg sir and Dinesh sir. I
just have one suggestion:

Other important contributors- details from archives
Other important contributors- list
Our moderators- major contributors- details
Top 10 contributors- details from archives

I think these four can be merged into two as

MODERATORS
MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS

Thanks, Pankaj ji, for your feedback.

How does it look now: https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/home ?

This is OK from my side.
"Top ten/10 contributors" happens to be present at two different
place. The second one could be changed to "Top ten/10 contributors as
on 1.1.11."
