    Shelby Mustang Email List
    ------------------------------
    I would like to take the roll call list for the group and make some
    changes. I welcome suggestions
    There are several things that have to be changed such as removing all
    the email addresses.
    What I had in mind is at a minimum is a pic of each member with your
    car(s). We could even take it to the next level and provide a
    "gallery" of member cars with sub links and give each member a mini
    web page not unlike CarMemories.com. My web guru is building some web
    software similar to CarMemories.com that we would be able to use.
    That should be available not too far in the future.
    By discussing it now we can come up with a good outline of what would
    be nice to have.

    A key point here is we want to protect each of us from spammers and
    bad guys on the net and out in the wild but still display our cars
    proudly. We could even add a for sale section for cars and stuff just for us.

    So think about this and please send me your wish lists. Here are the
    questions I welcome your comments on:
    1) What can we add to this group on the web beyond the email list
    that would benefit just the members?
    2) What do we want to be public for anyone (non-members) to view on
    the web page? If anything?
    3) What services through the web would be of value to you members?
    Like an email address from thecarsource.com, or your own web page for
    your car(s), for sale for cars and parts for members only or for the public
    4) I am thinking of a way to take the archives and pull valuable tips
    out and put them on a web page for easy access. There is too much
    experience and information here not to do that.
    5) Events/calendar we all could add to

    That would benefit just the members?
    we could offer an online magazine format. there would be a space for feature
    cars and for tech articles, pix from shows attended and latest news. a
    couple of each per month and back issues stored online


    2) What do we want to be public for anyone (non-members) to view on
    the web page? If anything?
    the public could see the car pix and a hint of the other stuff


    3) What services through the web would be of value to you members?
    Like an email address from thecarsource.com, or your own web page for
    your car(s), for sale for cars and parts for members only or for the public
    Yes a clasified section would be nice. It would need to be decided the terms
    of the classified from the start like free/pay. if it is free, how many can
    someone have at one time(1-2) and how long it will stay up. I am involved in
    another site (not cars) that just had this issue because the work involved and
    the cost involved with hosting the free classified made them change to a pay
    for ad format. there were a lot of people that were upset about that so if
    we go that way we need to establish the rules from the start


    4) I am thinking of a way to take the archives and pull valuable tips
    Out and put them on a web page for easy access. There is too much
    Experience and information here not to do that.
    see #1. an online magazine format that was searchable would be cool


    5) Events/calendar we all could add to
    good idea. you could also have a signup sheet for who is going to the events
