Our new rec.aviation "Rogue's Gallery" of pictures.

Since our new website is obviously becoming more popular with you folks
every day, I need some advice on how to proceed:

1. Should I include "anonymous" posters? I have received pictures from
several folks who do not wish to use their real names, have their "N"
numbers visible, or have their home bases publicized. To me this seems
bizarre, since the whole point of "showing off" your plane is to "show
off" -- and how can you do *that* anonymously? Still, I've posted a
couple of them, but I'm not sure of how to proceed. It's YOUR page -- what
do you folks think?

2. The page is slowing waaaay down. I really like the format of the page,
but as it grows it's getting really slow to open. How's it running for you?
Too slow? Okay, yet? How slow is too slow?

3. Should I include email addresses? I've not included them, thus far --
but I thought it might be valuable to have an email "directory" of
participants?

Thanks for your help!

A nice thing to do. I think to show your support for rec.aviation.* you should
also provide the rec.aviation.* FAQ. That would balance it out and provide a
great source of information for all pilots.

Great idea!

Where can I find the FAQs?

This will require some work on your part. You'll have to treat each FAQ
differently I'll bet. Some you will only have to mirror, others you might need
to actually adopt and maintain. The google archives can provide the meat. And
it's easy enough to figure out which questions keep getting asked over and over
again. This would be a great thing to have. You can solicit help from the
posters here. Maybe ask for volunteers to maintain a topic or two.
Collaboration will make it simpler and better overall.

Word to the wise, you may be taking on a responsibility that could last
a long time. But it's for a good cause, don't you tihnk?

This is probably a dumb question, but what has to be maintained? After all
these years, aren't the FAQs pretty "set in stone"?

Can't I just copy/paste it into a page, and be done?

FAQs, at least the good ones, are not set in stone. They should get periodic
updates and those updates should get posted or announced in the relevant groups.

Some of the FAQs (e.g. r.a.m) seem to be maintained currently and some are
not. The ones that are you could mirror or link. (mirrors are usually always
welcome but check with the maintainer first) The ones that are not maintained
currently you would have to adopt and maintain. I think you could find a
volunteer or two around here to own parts of the FAQ and provide updates as
needed. A (*gasp*) collaborative effort.

You could but the idea with the stale ones would be to revitalize them, get
them up to date add any recent FAQs not already covered, etc.
And the ones maintained currently could be mirrored.

mirrored == you pull the content on some regular basis from the
maintainer site.

Who said anything about reinventing the FAQs?
