[Dixielandjazz] To All DJML Members - DJML Move

[Robert Ringwald]

Hi Kit,

No. Not considering moving to something such as FAcebook. I don’t do facebook and probably never will. 

You are probably right that we might get new, younger members. However, with my screen reading program, you’d lose me. 

We plan to continue DJML as is, just very possibly move it to another home.

Thanks, Bob. Not questioning the value of the group or the discussions, just
the delivery mechanism... Do you think it still makes sense to keep the
group on a relatively dated distribution methodology like this? Have you
considered simply moving the group to FaceBook or a social networking
equivalent. Members and administrators would have at least as much control
and could limit their other FaceBook involvement to the extent desired.
There may be a few losses from folks who simply will not interact outside of
email, but chances are you'd see many more gains from others, especially
those on the younger end of the spectrum.

AS most of you know, we lately have been having an increasing amount of
trouble with Islandnet who has been providing a home for DJML for free since
Peter Lovric started DJML on March 13, 1995. 



Our contact person at Islandnet appears to no longer be there and we are
getting nowhere trying to get various problems with the DJML software
solved. 



Just to let you know, Dave Haupt, DJML Assistant Moderator and I are looking
into moving DJML so that we will have more control over the software which
keeps DJML running. 



When and if the decision is made to move DJML, you will be notified. Rest
assure that Dave is doing his best to solve the current problems with the
DJML software and Islandnet.
