I too would sign up!
I haven't worked with web design for a number of years but I've offered my
assistance for our local community website (whine enough about what's out there and
someone will offer you the work...whether you wanted it or not).

Subject: [Callers] contra dance webmasters unite! (?)
I've been wondering if there would be enough interest (and traffic) to form an email
list for contra dance website webmasters and other content creators (e.g., people posting
videos to youtube) and people maintaining contra dance related "pages" on
Facebook to discuss some of the issues and ideas and share links, etc.
I created the website
http://southfloridacontradance.com/ and I'm always looking for
good videos to share (see the "Announcements" page) and links about contra
dancing (see the "What is Contra Dance?" and "Dance Links" pages). I
also help maintain the "South Florida Contradance" page on Facebook.
In particular, I think that finding, generating, and sharing fresh content is the kind of
thing that will keep our web sites looking current and vibrant and will spark interest. I
also think it's important to design for both the current dancer (when and where is
tonight's dance or next month's festival?) and be informative and welcoming to the
uninitiated. Sharing relevant, high quality links will also help make sure that search
results yield the best information about our beloved activity.
As for folks posting to YouTube... as a caller, I often want to know the name and author
of the dance being done!
Respond to this thread and if there's enough interest, perhaps we can convince the
kind folks who run
SharedWeight.net to start a new mailing list for this.
Let me know what you think!
