The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Hi Rob -
But that would be like only have your church missionaries work the choir.
I'd like to get the word out to others.
So how many people in your local area do you think actually read that list???
David said that you can post on the non-tech list if you are having a major
speaker.
As well, if you are having a major speaker I think it would be in order to
post in the comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc newsgroup.
Beyond that, websites are a better way of attracting new people than a
mailing list. A Yahoo! email group or other such mailing list would be a
way to keep the regulars abreast of information. A group Yahoo! also
includes a mini, pre-structured website with an archive of messages, a file
area, etc.
To attract new people, make sure that you are listed at
http://www.eserverusergroup.org/ (which seems to be down at the moment) and
other such places.
If one does not already exist, start a small website for your user
group. If you set up a Yahoo! Group, that gives you a place to start, but
you'll probably want something with more flexibility before too long. Use
free hosting if necessary. (In my area the major newspaper offers free
hosting to public services groups.) Make sure that it gets submitted to
search engines. Get your local major organizations that provide community
links to link to it.
Since we have drifted away from midrange technical stuff, if you wish to
discuss this further lets either move it to the non-tech list or private email.
