A members area on the website?

FB is giving us trouble

  • the flow has stopped
  • the archives have been ransacked and destroyed
  • control is arbitrary
    and
  • there is a very small minority of members who have access

What do we really need?

I like the idea that conversations are available and searchable so we can look back to years ago and not reinvent the wheels

I think that people might choose to do private gossip in private spaces but that’s their business, not BrisLETS

A Members Area

I think that the members’ area needs to be official. so NO deletions, NO disrespect, stick to the facts and responsible moderation

I think that the member’s area needs to integrate with the newsletter

I think the member’s area needs to be password protected, entrance is via the CES site or Membership and password

I think that access to conversation needs to be offered when people sign up.

The Welcome message needs amending

I think the best way to get it running is to build it and invite people

Modifications are always possible

I think that BBPress might be the right plugin we could integrate more extensive systems if there was ever a need.

I think it might be useful to archive some of the files as a primer, and invite everyone and we can probably send every single person on the database an identity and a password
