Current Projects:

If you are working on a project to promote BBS'ing, please send e-mail to tom.lebens@fanciful.org, and we will add a link here. If you don't have access to a web server, we will post the information for you.

There are a lot of good ideas out there waiting for someone to say "yes!" And, the beauty of our group is that you don't have to wait for anyone to say "yes!" As they say in the Nike commercials, "Just do it!"

	Official BBS FAQ - Al Lawrence has taken on the roll as Team Leader for the Official BBS FAQ. The BBS FAQ, while a valuable document, was sadly out of date, so we are pleased to be able to provider this service to the BBS Community under the leadership of Al Lawrence!
	Completed! Domain Name - Ed Koon has registered our domain name! bbs-promotion.org will be our new home, just as soon as we get some server issues resolved.
	Newsletter - CStone has taken on the task of producing a BBS Promotion Team newsletter suitable for distribution by local sysops, and with space to attach a local BBS list.
	Version 1, Completed! Future Sysop Info Pack Project - Tecno is working on an info pack for future sysops. This pack is by sysops for future sysops to learn a few tricks of the trade.
	BPT and BPTNet Info Pack Project - Tom Lebens and ??? (Need a co-leader) are working to create an info pack file that can be distributed to prospective team members with information about the term, how to get connected to either our listserver, our Fido echo (coming soon), or our QWK network (also part of this project).
	User Disk Project - Brian Tafoya has taken on the task of creating a disk containing the software essentials and documentation needed for a first time user to connect to a BBS.
	Completed! Fido Echo Project - Ed Koon is working to get BBS_PROMOTION added to the backbone of Fido.
	Logo Project - Gary Brosius has started up a logo project. Let him know if you want to be a part of his team. Gary has posted quite a few logos, so please check them out and share your comments.
	Completed! Name - Ed Koon and Todd Cochrane combined efforts to guide us through deciding on a name. We are now "officially" The BBS Promotion Team.
	T-shirts/How-to Web Site - Tom Lebens will create T-shirts and work on a How-to get into BBS'ing web site. He needs help on the How-to web site, particularly with written text and other content, so if you want to join the How-to team, post a message to the listserver or send e-mail to Tom.
	Your Project - If your project isn't listed, send e-mail to tom.lebens@fanciful.org. We try to keep these pages up-to-date, but things move so fast around here, there are so many great ideas, and so much energy, we often do not find out until the project is done that it was being worked on!
