Many of us, who are long time coordinators, do indeed have networking
background professionally as well as database, server, website admins.
True, this is not a paying job for us, but it is interfering in any
planned projects, getting new people up to speed and generally still
taking up time. I have other things that I put my time into (see sig line),
but we feel that this portal situation is important to get right, be
done in a timely fashion and not instill as sense of no confidence on
behalf of the end users. The question keeps coming up the more there are
delays and non-answers to emails, "is ARDC more about the millions in
grant money or is it about the hams getting things done in the technical
side of the hobby". It becomes increasingly difficult to answer questions
like that with solid information or with a straight face. Maybe you should
have remained on the technical committee seeing how you would have
approached
this cut-over differently.

and let me tell you I would not like to be in right now, it was planned
to have the local coordinators in the loop. In fact it was primordial to
have the help from the coordinator and I am sure it is still important.
