<<from Kathleen’s e-mail>>
Steve Rose is willing to help us at no charge. He needs feedback from us, however. My requests for the meeting:I'm wondering if any of you would like to be involvd in the website design as a subcommittee or if it makes more sense to invite him to one of our skype meetings and have the dialog as a group.
2) responses to his correspondence below (see Kathleen’s e-mail from August 8th. The following excerpt from that e-mail
I think the site could use an overhaul, but that is a major project, and would require some time and careful thought by someone, or several people, in your group. As mentioned before, I'm talking about carefully delineating all goals of site ownership and site users, then building the site to specifically fulfill those goals, removing anything else.
3) requests you have for me (I'm willing to be a contact person with Steve, and be involved in the design discussion though I have NO expertise or experience in this area. I'm willing to help move this project forward).
