[GR-Jug] Let's get moving....

[Ken Radlick]

The other thing that we use the Yahoo Group for is the
calendar to store the meeting dates. They have an nice
feature that will e-mail the notice up to two times at
the interval that is set (currently ours go out a week
and a day prior, I think), which is the messages that
you asked me to fix (which I changed back to the
generic message from the specific text that I was
putting to show the meeting topic in the e-mail
reminder). That is another reason we still have kept
the yahoo group. Perhaps we could migrate that
functionality to our webserver or use something else.

That's my $0.02
