[JMS] Should JMS move to Facebook?

[Don Buska - The Radio Lab Works]

Good day JMS members.

I've been toying with the idea of moving our communications over to 
Facebook as a private group.  We've used the QTH reflector now for 
around 18 years and it has proven reliable, but also quite limited in 
features, i.e. no pictures or graphic, no attachments etc.  So even with 
relation to just email it is well below the capability of current 
offerings.  I have also noticed many groups and clubs have migrated over 
to Facebook due to the built-in features that are vital to a clubs 
operations, like a calendar with reminders.  In addition,the ability to 
show & tell new acquisitions, and later offer them for sale when the 
ownership joy has worn out, hi.    My guess is that a good percentage of 
JMS members are already on Facebook as well, so the transition should be 
smooth and would integrate into current activities.

Your ideas?  I would probably not eliminate the QTH reflector 
immediately as it doesn't take much effort to maintain.  Eventually I 
would have it return a message informing any poster to our Facebook page.
