Updating the Site Guide - Your Help Would be Great

Post by jeffabra »

It was a pleasure meeting many of you last week at the club meeting. For those who were there, the electronic version of the site guide is now available on the member's page of this website... (In order to protect our sites, please do not circulate the guide to anyone who is not a member!!)....

Now, it's time to UPDATE the GUIDE.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
1) Select a few pages of the guide and take responsibility for making sure the information is accurate. (There are about 8 introductory pages and then another 40 or so individual site pages.)
2) Shoot me an email telling me which pages/sites you will take responsibility for... jeffabra at rocketmail dot com.
3) When you are done, send me the corrections.... it will be easiest if you make the edits in Word and just send me the appropriate pages.
4) Let's aim for a complete draft revision by MAY 18.... that's two weeks.

OTHER SUGGESTIONS:
1) It was suggested that we include GPS coordinates for launches and preferred LZ's... That could be interesting... anybody want to take this on?
2) Missing sites... are there some sites that aren't in the guide that should be... if so, write it up. Some sort of review process will be created to determine whether to put it in.
3) A photo contest for the cover page.... could be fun.
4) Anybody want to make a new map for the guide showing where the sites are?... The old one cannot be edited very easily.
5) Other ideas?

WHO IS INVOLVED THUS FAR:
A few folks offered to take some pages at the club meeting.
Matthew Graham: Bill's Hill, Fisher Road, the Pulpit
Pete Schumann: Dickey Ridge
Ben Herrick: Pinnacles, Spruce Know

thanks,

Jeff
