Bring back the Great Roads database
... as someone else mentioned.
Somewhere in the bowels of the old site is the beginning of a better effort. We did at one point in time have a simple system that was searchable by state and provided a method of describing the roads and linking to Mapquest.
I believe that this Forum could support content like this, if we were to structure a section for it.
Ideally, there would be a structured form for submitting the content so that it could be searched and browsed efficiently.

I wondered when you'd show up, ol' "quiet and shy".

Re: Chartered Club Web space
This one is under consideration, but hasn't stirred up a lot of interest from the clubs - so far.

Re: E-commerce for chartered clubs
This would likely require a big administrative overhead and a lot of "integration" with the clubs, so would have to be looked at closely.
However, there is a lot of interest in using the on-line rally registration system for the larger regional rallies. We think this could work fairly well and will see of there are any takers for next rally season.

Re: International Memberships
Done! You can do that now - and have been able to do so with SSL security since last April 1. The ON comes with membership.

Re: Integration of Rally and Website
Do I hear a volunteer??
That would be running before we can walk. What is being worked on now is a way to always provide a good Cyber Cafe at the International Rally - and wireless access through much of the rally site.

Re: Tiered content to attract non-members
That's exactly how the "guest" section of the new split site will used.

Re: On-line Mileage Contest Entries
No reason this couldn't be done, provided there were sufficent volunteers willing to spend the time tracking this during riding season.

Re: Participation of BMW ON Writers here on the Forum
You'll be seeing some early moves in this direction over the winter.

Re: Method for re-purposing Forum contributions
Isn't that the nature of "forum" or bulletin board software? I agree with you about the digging part. Your suggestion could be done if there were more volunteers willing to spend the time.

Re: Bring back the Great Roads database
That was brought up in a form earlier in this thread. See my post about an interactive map with road hot-spots and links to camping site info & reviews.

Re: Re: Chartered Club Web space
There is plenty of free webspace to put up a free website. But a nice start page on the BMWMOA domain would be nice. Some thing like http://www.bmwmoa.org/BMWBMW for the BMWBMW club which has their logo and contact info then link into their actual website, where ever that is. This way the MOA staff can keep at least the first page up to date when charter renewals come in. The clubs that want to can still maintain their own site or if they have none then it's a start.

P.S. Maybe more trouble than it's worth but it's an idea.

Re: Re: Re: Chartered Club Web space
Actually, there is already a feature something like this accesable from the MOA home page. If you click on the "About the BMW MOA" link, it opens a sub menu. Click on Chartered Clubs, and there is a listing, by state, of all the chartered clubs and includes links to individual club web sites. Quite nicely done, IMHO.
