Whoa, boy.
In fact, your entire list from the first point downwards
presupposes that we have the financial resources to
continue down the line.
Last I checked, we had squat.
IMHO the only sensible way to progress is to identify our
budget, *then* decide how to allocate it. All else is
futility - or at the very least, we'll end up going this
way in the end.
Any advances, then, on 'squat'? Fairy tales about selling
a T-shirt to every single member of thelist once a year
(do the sums), or about selling a hosting service which none
of our members needs enough to pay for, need not apply.
/me starts drifting into 'grumpy Rudy' territory
