- Enophile - 01-01-1999 First, I want to say thanks to Jerry, Bob, and whoever else is involved here. This seems like the best forum software for web based boards. My suggestion is that we use a modified AOL style folder system, since most of us are used to that. I've kept most of the AOL names, but eliminated some folders and combined others. Here's my suggestions for folders: Paraphernalia (This includes memorabilia, accessories, corkscrews, etc.) Wine Touring/Dining Wine & Politics Merlot Southern France & Rhone Varietals Zinfandel Spanish Wines & Varietals Champagne/Sparking Wine Loire Valley Wines Food & Wine Pairing Ads/Promos/Events Books/Magazines/Critique the Critics Trade/Sell/Locate Wines Pinot Noir/Red Burgundy Home Winemaking Port/Red Dessert Wines White Dessert Wines Beaujolais Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon/White Bordeaux Northwest Wines East Coast/NY Wines Soapbox/Miscellaneous Ramblings Wines From Down Under Wines Under $15 Italian Wines & Varietals Bordeaux Cabernet South America/South Africa Wine Shopping/Mail Order Deals Chardonnay/White Burgundy Storage/Cellars/Racking Wine & Health Alsace & German Varietals Other Wines If there's anything I can do to assist with this board, let me know. - WA Wino - 01-01-1999 Eno, two thoughts: First, I think fewer is better than more, especially starting out, especially since we can add more as need be. Second, there is a feature of this BB software that allows folders that have new messages since your last visit to be identified. This will have to be turned on, or we'll waste too much time opening up folders that have nothing new. - Ruthbug - 01-02-1999 We need a Loire folder, or combine it with another region of France such as Alsace. Also we need a Central Chats. - Brad - Jerry D Mead - 01-02-1999 As you can see, we've already set up some of the ones Eno recommended (basically same stuff as on old board, with slightly different titles) and I e-mailed an additional list of topic to Jackie during the wee hours...Loire/Chenin Blanc is among them. Before the weekend is over, we'll should actually have most of what we need up and running...after that it will be fine tuning. I think we're far enough along that you can start inviting other non-AOL friends to have a look-see. JDM - Guest - 01-02-1999 Good list, Eno. But I wouldn't create a separate folder for Beaujolais since the AOL board has so few posts. It could easily be folded into "Other wines". I like combining Oregon and Washington into one folder, "Northwest Wines". |
