Lady Livewires and Sir Franklin(our Techy Knight),
Well the negative feedback is very discouraging, its not about the site, but peoples disinterest in helping--and the most prominent reason --with katrina victims--is their race.
This leads me to anither item for us to tackle--Does anyone speak or write in Spanish? That will be a huge hurdle in dealing with Rita victims. I am useless in this, what of the language I know pertains to cable tv and or bar slang. I will try to contact a friend of mine---shes learning and her boyfriend may agree to translate for us. Nico-we need spanish speaking interviewees---to talk and translate on air.
I have also tapped a new resource for crossposting---the gay and lesbian chat/message forums. Not surprisingly they are very interested in our mission. A large population of gays/lesbians were living in and around new orleans. Many have friends that were effected by Katrina.
Also, we need to be looking ahead here-the holidays--Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be upon us shortly----what do we want to organize for hurricane victims and how much? Should we post suggestions for community fundraisers and activities etc...?
WDYT?
