[AlpacaTalk] Re: PS: Advertising Discussion

I created 2 basic Database tables for your input...

1- Products
2- Events

Take a look and if you like the concept. It's very simple to add the
products and events you would like to share with all!

I don't think anyone will go ahead and enter ALL the official AOBA
shows, the LINKS to them should be enough? I believe it should be a
place to promote our member events.

I also added 2 "official" events in the Calendar in November to see
how it works and whether an Events Calendar would be better than the
Events Database. Let me know what you think.

Heather could decide if she wants these tools open for all to input
their own data or if she wants a moderator to do this in a
more "standard" fashion. I can help if required ;)

Gotta go... I'll be back tomorrow to read your input.

See ya!
