Topic: Welcome to the 29er Sailor's Forum!!! Posted: 12 Aug 07 at 9:40am |
Hello,
I'm a relatively new 29er sailor with many questions & ideas for collaboration. If you are reading this post I guess you are or have been in a similar place at one point or another in your life. Coming into the class with all my enthusiasm, I spent countless hours searching & sifting through web site after another. Seeing how fragmented and SPAM loaded some of the existing 29er sites are, I started to put together a portal for 29er sailors, all rig formats, all countries etc. This is intended to be an informative & collaborative resource for anything & everything related to 29er Sailing. All except the SPAM. There are numerous sites on the internet with great 29er content. My intention here is not to hijack & undermine but rather refer to and highlight all the fragmented bits of information. Having a free & easy collaboration & discussion media in the absence of SPAM is another key goal. As phase 1 I am unveiling the forum. Complementing the forum will be a wiki site for simple documentation & collaboration. A blog site is being considered as well. The site will not host ads & other revenue generators but will solely rely on funding from me and occasional donations from members. I learned and benefited a lot from all of you and now is the time to give back. Forums and sites like this one are nothing without people who use them and make them valuable. So here you go. Please make the best of it!!! Thank you very much. http://29er-sailing.info/forums/ PS. Current 29er site & class administrators are most welcome to request moderator rights in the new forum. All you need to do is ask. Additionally, I am hoping to find some php, css & general web design talent who might have some time on their hands to help build this portal. All help will be most appreciated. Interested parties can write to skipper@29er-sailing.info . |
