Help wanted to improve our site.

[mosc]

We are running our server on an obsolete Linux distribution, Centos 7. A couple of years ago we were in a similar situation running on Centos 5. Our hosting company decided to discontinue support for Centos 5 on their servers, and if we didn't immediately move to a supported version of Centos, we would be unplugged. So with a lot of effort we moved to another server on Centos 7. Shortly after that, Red Hat Linux decided to suddenly drop support for Centos entirely. So here we go again. This time we are moving to Ubuntu, one of the most common Linux distributions, but this time we don't have to rush. We have set up a migration server running Ubuntu and are testing it out now.

One bi-product of this migration is it gives us an opportunity to improve the site. This means we can fix bugs, improve the look and feel, and add features and capability.

We need people to try out the new site and give us feedback. This is a non-technical volunteer activity; no coding or system analysis; just feedback, like: this is broken, this doesn't work right, I wish I could do this on the site, I like this change you made, etc.

If you are interested and willing to help, please post a reply to this message. I'll give you the details on how to access the new site and answer any questions you may have.

Hopefully, we can imrove the website and strengthen our community.

But then again .. what is the site .. what IS this site .. what is the relevance ..

there are almost no posts except the obligatory ones .. therte are almost no now signups .. and when there is a new signup .. it will get lost in the big nothing.

The quetion should be .. how can that be changed .. and if not .. and if not .. and if not ..

Thank you for reading my pessimisms .. I'm sad to loose it .. but it is so going down.
