Klaus,



Thanks for checking that, although when I click on the link from my original

message, it works fine. Maybe it's a difference in the email clients? Still,

I need to remember to keep punctuation away from the end of URL's since this

has happened in the past.



Thanks again,



Mark

Hello everyone,



As some of you may be aware, there was a lot of work done last year

on creating an entity to manage and  serve the PanoToolsNG list.

After our prior experiences, the members of the -List, (political

group dedicated to working out the behind the scenes details of

organizing our group), felt that it would be  prudent to create an

entity known as a Verein

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Verein). We chose this type of

organization because it was the least cumbersome to set up. Still,

it required much input and work from the many people on the -List to

bring about a cohesive document describing how this Verein would be

structured to meet our needs. You can find that document here -

http://wiki.panotools.org/Panotools_Bylaws.



Basically, joining the Verein is entirely optional. You don't need

to join it in order to be a member of the NG list. If you are

interested in the direction of the NG list and voting for future

officers, then you will need to join the Verein. This can be

accomplished by simply joining this Yahoo group -

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/PanoTools_GA/. That's it!



Currently there are ten members, so officially, the Verein exists

already. We would like to invite all of you to join it as well. This

won't be a high volume list with dozens of messages each day. There

will likely be a few posts over the course of a year, with more

activity as the date for voting for new officers approaches.



If you don't join the Verein, nothing will change as far as your

access or standing within the PanoToolsNG list. This is simply a way

to make sure that ownership and leadership of our list is directed

by a representative group of people and not falling on the shoulders

of just one person.



If you have questions regarding this, please join the

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Panotools-List group and post

your questions there so as not to clutter the NG list with OT

threads.



Thanks, and we are looking forward to seeing you on the PanoTools_GA

list!



Sincerely,



The Moderators
