If someone is willing to step up and devote substantial time to making Website 2.0 a reality, then their desire to work within a familiar environment should carry a lot of weight. There has been a fair amount of discussion on the forum part of the new website. As a forum moderator, my primary concerns are: 1. A relatively seamless transition from the old site to the new, preserving both content and internal links to the greatest extent possible, and migrating existing active accounts. 2. A robust forum implementation, with ease of use being more important than features. 3. A mechanism for registering new users that locks out the spambots that have plagued the forum. Individual spammers we can handle with relative ease. The bogus accounts by the thousands are much more of a drain on resources. Similar concerns apply to the Wiki - Seamless migration of existing content, and an easy path for contributors to continue their work, while preventing bad guys from doing damage. Phil
