Got me to thinking, even things like field sizes need to be considered,
seems pretty mundane but turns outr to be important in the details. Or how
does a Member manage what information he wants to make available when the
Membership Directory is done on-line. Lots to think about.

If we have Board-level postions for the Editors for Profiles and for the
Newsletter, then we surely need one for the Website. I nominate Terry,
although I suspect he is too busy at work to take on the responsibility. If
not him, the person needs to be fluent in project management, system
usability, security, database design, etc. etc.
