i could also do with being free on the 19th as my Nannie is up from b'ham and I am teaching her to paint, might be nice to spend the evening too tbh. What was up with the 20th again?

Sorry to be a pain, everyone, but I need to retract what I said in my post about being available on Monday 19th.
I really could do with being at the Oldham Coliseum meeting instead. (It now looks like I’ll be the only person there who will be able to fully describe the technical set-up for the production of Hound of the Baskervilles that opens tonight at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield - the play under discussion on the 19th).

Hi Sam,
By the way the 20th is Manchester Free Software's meeting, so perhaps we should reschedule? Could you do Monday 19th David?
I have a clash on Monday 19th (every other Monday I help run a playreading group for Oldham Coliseum Theatre) - however, I'm not leading the session on the 19th, so could skip it (although the two people who normally rely on me for lifts will have to catch the bus home). So yes - if the 19th is better for everyone else - I'll be there (wherever we meet).
I agree that it should be simple to read and edit. Perhaps a git repo containing markdown files would be best? This would allow people to edit
pages
who don't know HTML at all. We can always add support for dynamic
content in
future if we need it.
I'm up for anything - I'm just concious that if we start debating it too much it might be next xmas before a sensible-looking site is up.
Personally I think the most important things are:
- Explain what mailpod does
2, Explain why it does it 3. Explain why people should use our services
Definately
- Allow people to sign up and pay for our services
Are customers all supposed to live in and around Manchester? Are we going to ask for their real name and address? Will there be any vetting?
- Look professional and trustworthy
Yes - we want people to feel comfortable enough to pay!
- State the association with FSFE and Arcspace
Certianly - even if only to lend us some extra credibility
Too much, or too little?
Enough to start with, I reckon.
Out of interest this is the Fripost site:
https://fripost.org/index.en.html
Did Fripost actually get its initial 50 customers? If so, the text on the site hasn't been updated.
