I would like to start a discussion about what we are doing as an 
organization, and more particularly, what purpose we want our web 
site to serve.  I met Pete yesterday at the Wintergrass festival in 
Tacoma where he was playing.  In our discussion, we decided that 
before we pay anyone to maintain our website, we need to know what it 
is for, and have an idea of the design.  I had these ideas, that I 
want to use as a starting point for this discussion.

--------

Our web site is for:
1) adding members?
What is a member?  Just someone who subscribes to the newsletter?

2) selling HFK and Why Evolution?
Possibly.

3) a service to people who need guidance in how to raise children in 
a world surrounded by Christian fanatics?

4) a forum for Humanists with families or young children?

--------

Does the Family of Humanists fill a niche that is not filled by other 
Humanist organizations?

--------

What can be added to the website, or how can the website design be 
changed, to better serve its purpose?
- Text from back issues of the newsletters?
- History of Humanism reprints?  (Devin, are you working on this as a 
publication?)
- Advice on how to deal with Christian relatives or how to raise kids 
as Humanists?
