[Sagamore Online] Fwd: Is your PTA stuck in the paper age?

[Dave Allen Barker Jr]

Thanks, Kim, for the pointer to Ringya.  I got your message on this 
earlier in the year too, but didn't reply, sorry.

I haven't given it thorough review, but my first thought is that this 
app addresses contact information management, and I don't feel that's a 
pressing problem for us.  It also seems exclusively mobile.

Personally, I'm more interested in increasing accessibility of our 
communications (across people and time) than how they're initiated.  I'd 
rather put energy into leveraging something like Google Groups 
<https://groups.google.com/> (they can be made branded and/or exclusive 
to Sagamore).
