PHNUTR Website

[Buckner, Tiffany]

Hello-

I am interested in helping out with the web site.  I could do some volunteer
work if necessary, in  research, editing, writing, or whatever you think is
necessary.  

Please feel free to contact me about this via email or at home,
206-789-9364.

Thank you,
Tiffany Buckner

Elizabeth and Friends:

Elizabeth raises a good issue and one I wish I had a real answer for.

There is a PHNUTR Website but it is in sad shape. I take full
responsibility for that. I have not been able to maintain the Website
because there just aren't enough hours in the day to run the discussion
groups, do my Fellowship at OHSU, and teach interesting workshops for
my public health colleagues. So, until my Public Health Informatics
Fellowship is over in the Fall of 2002, I can't even consider upgrading
the site and accepting new material.

I do see that an improved Public Health Nutritionist Website could be very
useful. Perhaps we could get CDC or USDA to consider developing a site for
us?

Another solution is to see if anyone on the list has the time and
resources to set up another Website. Any volunteers?

With some support (it all boils down to money), I could hire a student to
work a few hours a week on the site and bring it up to its former glory.
There's still some very useful information on it, but it needs quite a bit
of TLC.

Another alternative is to set up an egroups account on Yahoo! which I
could easily do. It's very simple for people to upload files and store
them there. However, Yahoo! only gives us about 2MB of space and the
signup process on a personal level is cumbersome to say the least. Plus,
you'd end up with yet another discussion group to deal with. The other,
less attractive, side of a Yahoo! site is that it isn't a Website but more
of a threaded discussion group so that information is just slapped up with
the file name given by the owner. Not a pretty sight.

If you have other suggestions, let's talk about them.
