<P><FONT SIZE=2>O.K. I finally got started with my messages today. But being an egroups virgin, I have no clue how to get into our site. So can someone lead me step by step? I did go into egroups.com and tried to use 'my groups' but when I put in my email address and the password I always use, it said the password was unknown. Do I have to register? (You'd think a computer programmer could figure this out, wouldn't you? But I'm strictly mainframe. I get really lost with this PC stuff.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To Melanie, I wouldn't mind doing the maintenance on the Lupin and Dumbledore FAQs. I'm assuming there is one for each even if I haven't been able to get into our site to see them. I might be able to take some of the others when I can see what they are. I'm with Penny though; I don't want the casting stuff. I do read it but just to see how outrageous it's getting: David McCallum for my Lupin? He's DECADES too old, please!</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Anyway, thanks in advance to whoever jumps in to help. </FONT>

</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>When you have a moment, take a look at the Master List of FAQs that I </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>created & put in the "Database" section of our egroups. We can add & </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>edit this as necessary. It's based on the topical groupings from </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>people who've sifted through their messages & my own thoughts. Paul:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>love some of your heading titles (especially New York Times: Evil </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Behavior). <vbg> </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We can change this -- but I started out with the premise that we</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>could </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>group some sub-topics under a larger topic. For example, I have a </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>FAQ on Hogwarts. I would expect that would include the theories</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>about </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>where Hogwarts is located, whether there is tuition, the size of the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>student body, where the professors live & whether they're married or </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>not, etc. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Similarly, I set up a FAQ for each of the major characters (I know, I </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>forgot Pettigrew -- we'll add him). The Hermione page would have a </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>cross-link to the Names (meanings) FAQ, a physical description of </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Hermione, her personality, a cross-link to the Romance Pairings FAQ, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the prounciation of her name, etc.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>For the Committee: I've created columns for the name of the person </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>creating the FAQ, date of completion & who's responsible for </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>maintaining it. My thought is that once the FAQs are written, we </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>might be able to talk some of the other members into volunteering to </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>maintain a FAQ or 2. That way, we, the 5-person Committee, won't be </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>trying to maintain 10-15 FAQs each. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Heidi has expressed an interest in the Geography FAQ (where is </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Hogwarts, the Burrow, Diagon Alley, etc.) & the Mythology FAQ. I am </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>placing dibs on Hermione. I'm assigning "CoverArt" & "Other </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Recommended Reading" to Skimmel if he'll do them. He usually weighs</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>in </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>heavily on both those topics. If you're not a member of the 5-person </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>"Committee" but want to do one or more of the FAQs, let me know. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>We're more than happy to take your help. And, I do not want to be </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>stuck with Casting. <g></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Oh, email the group with your "dibs" on various FAQs. That way </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Melanie will know that Neil has already placed dibs on "Potter,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Harry" </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>for example. That is, I won't have to sort through & figure out who </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>put dibs on something first. You might want to think about initially </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>volunteering for one large FAQ and some of the smaller ones. I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>wanted </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to try & sort them into large ones and then more minor ones, but then </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>my head started to hurt. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Is any of this making sense? <g> </FONT>
