Ahh, I see. I certainly trust your judgment here Campbell. If that's the case, then there's likely little need to have Nathalie involved, as I also would not like to pass control along to a third party without serious benefits.

Given the following agenda:

- Consolidation into a single, final list of the short term aims for the website, to best guide Campbell and Sundeep in implementation.

- Long term possibilities for website exploitation - specifically, things we may want to consider having the site do in the future that may be made possible (or more importantly, may be made impossible) by Campbell's concept.

- System administration responsibilities - a very pleasant seeming person wrote us an in-depth resume and expressed considerable competence in this regard. We shall see if his schedule will allow him to attend the meeting.

...... what does everything think of simply hammering out the details in this venue, the shared email chain?

One additional agenda item, then, shall also be letting Nathalie know that we appreciate her offer but we have elected to work in-house. Is that agreed?


Campbell, we wrote you a check worth one Emma. Best hurry, the way currencies are depreciating I can't imagine she'll be worth much in short order. One stipulation - you should probably congratulate her on her new post at Cambridge, which is a worthwhile accomplishment she has won by virtue, no doubt, of her very superior bra size, which she never tires of reminding us about. Little known fact - if you re-arrange the letters in "Emma" and also add back in all the letters which are usually covered up by her boobs, it spells "ridiculously enlarged mammary glands." I would probably go by "Emma" too, if that were my full name.

Bad news - I'm in the air all weekend, flying back to France.  So Sunday is out. 

I think one thing we have to nail down right away is a distinction about what we want Nathalie to do. My understanding was that she was offering the simple, relatively static website for the group - basically what we already have in place at projectpm.singingsites.com.  If that's correct, I think we'll have a hard time finding a real reason to LOSE control over our hosting and site in favor of her company.

But if she's proposing that her company should build the actual web application, that may be a different matter. Personally I would be surprised if that were the case - I can tell you that serious drupal development firms would charge $20-$40k for a refined version of what we have built already.  (I'll assume my check is in the mail... Lol)

For whatever reason, that last one didn't go to Sundeep or Campbell; both of you, please take a look at the quoted text directly below when you have a chance. Thanks.

This email is to include them in the chain of responses.

Also to suggest that perhaps Saturday morning/early afternoon be in consideration as well; certainly it would meet my preferences, and I believe Sunday was selected fairly arbitrarily. I am flexible, however.

Cheers all

Nathalie is not involved in this branch of the thread.

Given that we are looking to move forward promptly on a primary website as a central repository of information and recruitment point, here are some topics for discussion at the meeting this weekend:

- Consolidation into a single, final list of the short term aims for the website, to best guide Nathalie in implementation.

- Long term possibilities for website exploitation - specifically, things we may want to consider having the site do in the future that may be made possible (or more importantly, may be made impossible) by Nathalie's concept.

- System administration responsibilities - a very pleasant seeming person wrote us an in-depth resume and expressed considerable competence in this regard. We shall see if his schedule will allow him to attend the meeting.

Meeting attendees who are most urgently required:

Sundeep - Site development expert
Barrett - Vision
Gregg - SEO
Joe Neal - Sysadmin work

Would be worth having if at all possible:

Campbell - Integrating Project PM widget into the site may be better undertaken from the beginning, though we are naturally designing it to be easily integrated into existing sites.

Scott - Has, I think, the clearest overall picture of the project as a whole, and tends to have good insights (and keep us moving along when we stray)



Obviously everybody on the team has a good mind - even you Emma, for a Brit - so anyone else who can make it ought to come along, you never know where the best insight will come from.


I believe we had discussed *sigh* Sunday morning for this, in accommodation of Campbell's Frenchtacular schedule. What time works best for everyone?

My preferred time on Sunday morning is probably 2 PM. Please don't forget, partying is legitimately my job on the weekend.

Nathalie,

It's wonderful news to hear that the offers still stands.

Unfortunately technical things are not one of my strong suits so I'm not in a position to determine if this will be able to work with us.

I'm going to forward your comments to a couple of our people, and will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks again,
Scott

Hello Scott,

our offer stands. 

But I need to emphasize that we already build the platform (www.bizwall.net) and your programmer can enter title tags, title, etc. but has not access to work on our Drupal platform.  He cannot modify the Drupal code, view it etc.

However, you can build an entire site with it etc. without any coding information.  One developer said it was easier to manage then wordpress (I see this as a compliment).

If these terms are acceptable to you-we would love to work with you.

Best,
Nathalie

Nathalie,

As the subject indicates, I'm writing this on behalf of Project PM.

I know you talked previously with Barrett in regards to website design and, in fact, set up a mock draft of the site. Thank you for this.

This email is to let you know that we've reached an inflection point, as it's becoming increasingly necessary for us to have a formal website. Accordingly, Barrett has purchased the ProjectPM.org domain name.

In addition to you, we have several participants whose knowledge and skills will be useful in creating a website. Specifically a young but very talented and hard-working programmer, as well as an individual whose business is SEO.

If you're still interested in participating in the website creation, then kindly let myself or Tim know (Tim is CCed to this email as dynamicuno@gmail.com). Tim will be organizing a meeting as soon as possible in order to begin work on the official site.

Thank you in advance,
Scott
