[Rhodes22-list] 'links' or 'resources'

[Gardner, Douglas L. (LNG-DAY)]

Given that this is essentially an association site, I think we need to keep
as neutral as possible. Don't do anything that might limit the value or
completeness of the list. Certainly, I think we need some quality control,
however.  What if the minimal referral rule is that an owner has had work
performed by the provider (and paid for it) and is happy with the work?
Can't refer your own stuff for listing. In future, we could even create a
ratings system. (0%-175% genoa???)  

I'm not sure that Rik would feel comfortable with a situation where no other
graphics maker is permitted a link on the site. He's very sensitive to the
perception that he might be abusing the list for personal gain (HE's NOT, by
the way). Frankly, I think Rik can go head-to-head with any of them, so
doesn't need any extra baggage that might be associated with anyone thinking
we are playing favorites.  Just my 2 cents on that.

So, I think we should have a review team, headed by Mary Lou (thanks for
volunteering!) to come up with a list. Since MJM hosts the site, I think
that it is appropriate for him to be able to veto a listing.  (We could
always move the site if he abuses the power! ;^) This has many of the same
issues associated with quality assurance on the FAQ, but probably on a much
smaller scale.  More volunteers to help MLT?

Sounds good. IE: other canvas places-no, other graphics places-no, but
general knowledge companies, ie: West Marine, BOAT/US? Personally don't see
a conflict there, general companies everyone knows about, don't put any
competition on GB, they OK? Should probably talk to Elton next time he comes
along and see if i can't help him out with his little "gadgets and toys."
