Its not a big investment but of course someone needs to be tasked with the minimal monthly work of updating it. If there's a volunteer for that I think it seems worthwhile to try a few months and see what impact it has on membership.

Yes it does cost
some thing. When I took that on, I paid out of my pocket but there was very little interest after the first month. Frankly, I think it is unnecessary. All efforts and energies should be directed toward improving and strengthening the Austin Perl Mongers. Look at the way the Dallas or the Houston groups for examples of monger groups that have good, no, great participation. APM has come a long way under the leadership of Will Braswell. Notch it up.</div><div class="yiv9618772775HOEnZb"><div class="yiv9618772775h5">
