Wow! You guys are amazing!

I really want to make a top-notch site that'll pull together all the various groups--without a central leadership. Sort of a confederacy, if you know what I mean.

All of you who are interesting in helping set up and run this thing, do you want to discuss this here (so everyone else can see and comment) or by email (so that we don't annoy everybody)? My email is f3k64@yahoo.com, btw.

Who else should we be talking to on this? I've emailed the creator of this site (above--thanks, Haken!) and fireflyers.net. I can't seem to post or contact the folks at the Browncoat Ball--anyone have an address for them? I'll try to get in touch with the guys at the sites above that Browncoat1 mentioned.

I think it would probably be best to talk about it here for a while, as long as this thread is near the top of the list more people will hopefully get involved/interested. I'll help anyway I can but Im not so good with the technical side of things.

I'll help however I can.

I'm all for keeping the posts public so that we can recruit more help.

I was thinking about this exact sort of thing when Fireflymovie.com posted its movie is a go news.

In that post there was a bit of talk about a Firefly movie browncoat launch party in NC.

I was thinking then that getting all the event news to one location for those desperate to know would be a great idea.

Instead, event and party threads are all over the place.

Put me down in the Browncoat Database:

Jeff Moore
Tulsa, OK

I would love to know if there are other Tulsa Browncoats out there.

Thanks!

Jeff

I have contacted my friend about whether or not he would be against hosting other sites. I'll tell you if he'll do it as soon as I know.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Same org who runs browncoats.com owns browncoats.org

email is:
webmaster@browncoats.com <-- try this one...
webmaster@meyercomputer.com

http://www.browncoats.com/
Chris Meyer
Meyer Computer, Inc.
2141 W. Vineyard Street
Wailuku
96793

Oh, looks like Meyer Computers is a hosting site. So either Meyer Computers actually own both of those domains or they have clients who own the domains. I

Also, looks like the owner of browncoats.com obviously knows about this site already, vis-a-vis here:

Fellow Browncoat,

There has been some discussion at "fireflyfans.net" that an orginized Browncoats Database would be helpful in hooking up local fans and orginizing events. To that end "browncoats.com" would be an ideal domain.

Would you have any interest in hosting such a listing, or if time or money is a concern accepting volunteer help and support in making a Browncoats listing happen?

Thank you for you time and consideration.


Keep Flying.



Jeff and Gayla Moore

So, the obvious hasn't been asked yet. How much would it be for Haken to add two fields to the user's profile on this site:

State(or equivalent), Country you live in (but user's wouldn't have to put any if you don't want to.

Thanks!

I had already sent to webmaster@browcoats.com

Went ahead and sent the same to 'webmaster@meyercomputer.com' as well.

... and I sent some cash to fireflyfans.net via paypal... always happy to help.

I don't know...I was thinking more of a directory of groups, not fans. It may be that it's better to have everybody listed, but most people are wary of having too much of themselves online. I was thinking of regional group contacts--that way people can just contact their local group. What do you all think?

I was thinking that with the addition of the field, there can be a page listing by Groups who the users people are, etc.

A group listing doesn't have to exclude an individual listing. Individual listings could lead to the formation of new groups. Why not allow both on a strickly voluntary basis?
