<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body bgcolor="" text=""> I don't know about you all, but I'm riding the wave of new-school-year energy, and it feels good! New Sagamore parent of a kindergartener, Peter Helander, is really fired up about what can be done with Sagamore's current online presence and communications, and we (Monica Ellingson, John Lenz, myself), got to know him during <a href="https://plus.google.com/events/c1q7onbh0gmctr4bt7jb1mtgjoc">a recorded video conference</a> (which I need to edit). Peter has requests and ideas, which I'm quoting below (next time, let's just post to <a href="http://list.9.0ne.org/list/listinfo/sagamore.online">the discussion list</a> for all to see). I've been granted no authority to address his requests (website access), so invite others here to please address him (on the discussion list). I've also posted <a href="http://www.9.0ne.org/w/State_of_Sagamore_online,_fall_2013">meeting notes</a>, which contain Peter's ideas. I think it'd be handy if we address individual points by <a href="http://www.9.0ne.org/mw/index.php?title=State_of_Sagamore_online,_fall_2013&action=edit">editing there</a>, and of course discussion here on the list. If you guys would rather lean on Google hosted infrastructure for collaboration (e.g. Google Docs, Sites), remember we now have a <a href="http://www.9.0ne.org/w/Sagamore_Hills_PTA_Google_account" title="Sagamore Hills PTA Google account">Sagamore Hills PTA Google account</a> we can start experimenting with.
