Ryan et al,<div><br></div><div>I will first take responsibility that I did not push Jim's experiment at parallel forum and email. Part of the reason for that is that I tend to prefer the email system. I have to make a correction. Jim had this running as a test list on his own server. It was not implemented on the PTG server. </div>
<div><br></div><div>We have left the listservs running and we may need them for other reasons as well. That does not negate the need for <a href="http://my.ptg.org">my.ptg.org</a>. There is lots of forum software available but they don't integrate with with MemberMax data which is now where all our Home Office records are. For pianotech and CAUT we might be able to create forum and listserv.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm collaborating with the webteam which includes the board and staff to give an explanation of what is trying to be accomplished with these changes. Pianotech and CAUT are extremely important but they are not everything that PTG does. </div>
<div>We will post that when we get it finished.</div><div><br></div><div>In the meantime go back to talking about pianos in either format. I will create a group where we can collect improvement ideas to send on to Higher Logic. Let's get this format discussion off of pianotech for now. I will let you know when another group is ready</div>
