| Dear PGR Members:
I would like to thank Bill Richart and the BOD for asking me to serve as
the new PGR National Web Administrator. I have been working for the past
several weeks in formulating a plan on how we can grow the web site to
best meet our membership needs. The national web site has grown to the
point where it is difficult for one or two members to adequately update
and maintain. We are all painfully aware of the key issues that need to
be fixed, including the membership list, search functions, etc. These
problems will take a while to resolve as we want to address these issues
in a manner that will not jeopardize the site's stability. Please rest
assured, however, that we are quite aware of the main problems that need
to be fixed and will move forward on these in due order.
The National PGR web site is going to maintained by a group of seven
people (myself included) who have stepped forward to help maintain and
upgrade the site. These volunteers will be broken into two teams,
including a Content Team and an Infrastructure Team. The Content Team
will assume responsibility for the day-to-day content updates on the
site. The Infrastructure Team will assume responsibility to fixing main
operational issues as well as upgrade the site's functionality and
redundancy. I would like to thank the following members who make up our
new National Web Team:
* Joan Colosimo
* Jay Hill
* Hal Horton
* Hugh Knaus
* Bryan Lipscy
* Theresa Raley
My position within the National Web Team will be both that of a
technical member and coordinator. I will work closely with both the
Content and Infrastructure Teams.
My intent is to develop the web site infrastructure with both immediate
and long term goals in mind. I would ask that members please be patient
as we work to update all necessary content and resolve the main
technical problems. One of the first technical projects being addressed
by the Infrastructure Team will be to implement a development site. This
will be an off-line replica of the production web site in which we can
debug issues without impacting the main web server. Prudence will serve
us well in maintaining a balance between web site stability and fixing
long standing problems.
I would like to thank each PGR member for this opportunity. It is going
to be a challenge, but one that I am looking forward to. I would welcome
any member who has questions to e-mail me directly. I expect quite a few
e-mails, but I will do my best to get back to each of you as quickly as
possible. I would expect that you will see updates on the national site
as we make progress on the outstanding issues. My thanks to each of you
for this opportunity to be of service.
Respectfully,
Drew "BSDBluz" Berendts
PGR National Web Administrator
