THANK YOU!!! for saying that we can't check your page for updates, because we can't. We can't and we won't, darn it!! So there!!!! :) Seriously, now i'll try to restate plainly what I think is the best way for everyone to handle this local/national stuff...

Maybe inventing a policy for the freesklyarov.org site will do it. Let's try this. (and will all persons please remember that we are not doing this as our JOBS)


FREESKLYAROV.ORG policy on local information:
(this is for our own sustainability, folks, unless you can get me a staff of 3 right away)

1 - we will link to ONE authoritative local home page for any location on earth, as follows:
	freesklyarov.org/(locale)
and/or (if you want it and your server can handle it)
	(locale).freesklyarov.org (which can include an MX record for e-mail)

2 - if you have an event on a certain day, definitely send the announcement to mailto:calendar at freesklyarov.org with the date and what the event is (and if the other details are in there, that's fine, but we don't have a forum for them just now), and we will include on the "upcoming events" at the top. However, for the moment we are not running a massive multiuser calendar system, so you need to post your event DETAILS to your local home page (where they should be ANYWAY!!). We will point to the home page from the event listing, people will see it, they'll show up at your #bash.

This is all we can handle at this time. The local organization needs to stay local. Having a local home page that we can point to is very important if you want people to stay up to date with what you are doing.

3 - we ask all local organizers to prominently point back to www.freesklyarov.org so that people who find your local info first can also get the overall info that we are pointing to... including for example, people from some other locality who find your site and want to find their own organizers...


best regards to all, and good luck with the organizing. Looks like it's going to be more work than fun from here out.
