Dear Skinner, We the undersigned DU Members….

[Scuba]

…certify ourselves to have competency in project management, web development / hosting, or other technical skills, and further, that we wish to apply these skills to help advance Progressive causes.

Therefore, we are prepared to volunteer hours to DU on an “as able” basis to help achieve the following:

Provide DU Members with auxiliary technical services to enhance the value of DU.


We are further committed to:

Coordinating our efforts with DU Moderators to ensure our efforts are consistent with the best interests of DU.



Signed (through replies)



Note to all from Scuba,

If this effort goes forward, I am offering my project management skills to help bring it to birth.

Should Skinner approve, I will begin collection of volunteers / skills info and coordinate the drafting of a Charter. I believe such group can function effectively under direction of a “steering committee”, made up of volunteers and DU Moderators.

As for auxiliary services, I’m thinking of things like:

...unlimited, members-only picture and video hosting
...alerting and forwarding services
...a members-maintained wiki-like index / reference utility

As always, I welcome your thoughtful and reasoned replies. Thanks in advance for your support. DU's the best.

4. Yay! K&R for Scuba!

I'm not very good at technical stuff, but I am a super good social networker. If DU wanted to maintain an official twitter or facebook that would have frequent daily news updates I would be glad to offer my services. I already pretty much do that exact thing on my current twitter anyway.
