As a bit of further background to this project have a look at this blog post by Kevin Harris from Networked Neighbourhoods the organisation who convened the first meeting about the Community Website.

Attached here is a draft of a proposed "constitution" for a Sustainability Group - simply a number of local people who committ to providing a bit of guidance and support to ensure that the site is able to cover its costs. Lets have a look at this at our meeting on Monday

I'm afraid I couldn't get to this meeting, but am curious as to how it went.

Hi Dave
The meeting went well - a very good turnout. There was a positive response to the prototype site - we spoke about types of content, and how to encourage (and moderate) contributions. Mandy Norman has done some really thoughtful early stage designs for a logo and visual identity - which she will be working up over the next couple of weeks. We are now working towards a formal launch at the end of October and we spoke about what sort of launch event we might have. Next stage is to transfer the test site over to the URL BowesAndBounds.org addings "events" and "groups"modules and to start sharing the link more widely.

Additionally I hope to set up a group to help support the site grow and become self sustaining... are you interested? Hapy to have a chat about getting connected

Thanks
