Rock Garden Quarterly Summer 2012 - (Page 305)

The 2012-2013 Seedlist will appear on our website on December 15, 2012, and you will be able to begin ordering immediately online. Be sure that our executive secretary, Bobby Ward, has your most current email address, which is your entrée to the electronic ordering system. Contact him at: Naturally, we will still accept orders sent by postal mail. Any member who wishes to receive a print copy of the Seedlist and order form must send a request to me by December 1, 2012: Joyce Fingerut, 537 Taugwonk Road, Stonington, CT 06378-1805, USA. . Rest assured that we do not share our address lists--print or electronic--with other organizations or companies. Enjoy the remainder of your gardening season. Joyce Fingerut, Director, NARGS Seed Exchange www.NARGS.org Updating the website The Internet Committee has developed a prioritized list of expectations and goals for a new NARGS website. We already have a successful online seed exchange; a NARGS wiki; and a lively on-line forum. We want to increase the functionality of the website and make navigation more user-friendly and intuitive. New initatives will include: making it possible for designated users with appropriate levels of expertise to edit pages; creating an integrated membership database (don't worry - personal information will not be displayed on the website without your permission); and designing a webpage for the Rock Garden Quarterly. These changes will improve content, free the web administrator, and the Executive Secretary, from trivial tasks, and generally make the site more dynamic. NARGS has contracted with Monarch Digital to evaluate the current installation and to prepare a request for proposals that we can send to potential web developers. Daniel Dillon is guiding the evaluation for NARGS. The Internet Committee would be grateful for your comments and suggestions.
