Using this site

A few of us will try to keep the front page content up to date with a Neighborhood Calendar and other announcements (let me know if you'd like to be part of this), but the most interesting place for neighbors will probably be the News and Discussions page where you will find various discussion forums. Any registered user can post to these forums. You can subscribe to get Emails (or for techies, an RSS feed) when new posts go up. Posts can be moderated if needed to keep from cluttering up peoples mailboxes.

To get started, click on the Register link in the upper right hand corner. Then go to the News and Discussions page and there are links and checkboxes to post and subscribe to all posts for a forum or just selected topics. I've tried to get some topics started, please add your own.

Let me (David O'Leary, dave@oledave.com) know if you have any problems or questions.
