Re: Updated list: Re: The Democratic Answer to new home - VOTE



Hi Katharine,

for the record:

-  I am for continuation of the list in its current form: as an independant text based list
-  preferable hosted at an academic or a photography related institution.
-  maintained by Gordon (if he still wants this) with the help of a new team

If we can't find such an institution, maybe because such institutions hesitate these days because of the cost of the technical support needed, I can offer free top quality hosting, technical support as professional webdesigner and list maintenance (preferably with others).

If anyone feels I've misrepresented your position, please correct me, although as I said this isn't an official count in any way.  If anything, at this point, it's more of a compendium of early thoughts and concerns, and may be useful for helping set up questions/categories if anyone's going to set up an official survey using Survey Monkey or whatever.  (And note, these are not exhaustive or mutually exclusive, just a summary of the comments so far, FWIW.)
