Example of how we lose (fwd)

[Barb Weismann]

Dear all:
I'd like to recommend that we purchase a conferencing program like they
have on Grek. I tried it out just a little bit and it looks like fun
besides being an excellent way to communicate to one and all.
Look at items in:
 http://www.cyberspace.org/cgi-bin/bt/pistachio/confhome?conf=coop

This is what I have always had in my head that scn should be like.  They
even sound like us.  
Barb
P.s. I will gladly take on some admin duties for the program.  My guess is
that I won't understand them right off the bat but would be happy to do
legwork.

Barb, 

   It's a program developed by a couple of people at the Huron
Valley Community Network, that they call BackTalk.

   It's one of many commercial conferencing systems that are
available. Their pricing for nonprofits is at or under $500. One
of the drawbacks is that each thread has to be created by an
administrator, and that (I think) each thread has to have a
moderator or admin person.
