Well said Anita!
I agree with the majority of the postees, who say the site is not (yet) up
to scratch. However, it is very obvious that there is considerable "work in
progress", and I look forward to a more satisfactory end result , hopefully
in the not too distant future!
Tim, I had no idea that your involvement with the computer systems went so
far back. What a great effort! I note that in your reply to a posting by
Grant Davies, you endorsed the change by GFA from a volunteer operated
system to using a commercial provider. Matt provided some very useful and
relevant background comment here. Just for interest ,would it be possible
for you to give us a history lesson, and tell us how you got to your present
way of thinking re the setup of the GFA website? Obviously the Board had to
be convinced that a change was required . What do you think were the
principal determinate factors? Are you game to make some predictions as to
where we might be, say 5-10 years down the track with the new system?
A reply off-line to some of this is OK too!
Regards,
Gary

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Problems with Web
Thanks Tim and Matt for your thoughts.
My suggestion to anyone who is having a problem with the web page is to
contact the GFA Office. I have had good support from them. I know that
there
are some issues with our new website and I can understand the frustration.
I
urge you to let the Office know that you are having problems so they can
deal with those problems through our service providers. If you can not get
any help, or information that satisfies you, I then suggest that you
contact
the Executive or your Regional Board representative.
I would also remind you that many people are doing their VERY BEST to get
things up to scratch. Many doing the work are volunteers and then there
are
the office employees who care very much about our sport, our members and
the
website, so please, when you are providing feedback, please be
constructive
and respectful.
All the best
Anita
