Hi all,

The new draft CALMet Website is now live at http://calmet.comet.ucar.edu/. It doesn't have a lot of content yet, but at least it's a new base to add to. And you can help with that.

Here are the sections and things to think about.

Upcoming Conference:
Not much to say until venue is selected and we announce registration. We can host informative pages about the conference and/or link to a site managed by the local organizers.

Past Conferences:
I've linked to what I could find about past conferences. Let me know if there is more to link to. As for the last conference in Boulder, I've linked to most presentations that didn't seem to have copyright issues that would make anyone uncomfortable. Workshops were problematic, but if presenters have materials they can organize we can link to those, preferably on their own Websites. Most presentations presented little problem except for those from Australia. Lots of images there with uncredited sources. (That's what made them so fun.) We can create a letter of some kind for you to sign giving your ok and willingness to be sued instead of us, or you could post them on your end for us to link to. But not everything needs to be linked if it becomes a hassle.

Resources:
Obviously, lots more could be linked to here, and this could become several nested pages. Send me suggestions for obvious links not already there. Anything still valid from Charles' old CALMet site?

Discussions:
When our IT group recovers from several recent server crises, they might be able to get our Web discussion board back up and running. I think that will be better than a blog, since it will be more open, unless you have other suggestions. Also, if anyone has a paper to share for discussion, we need a first "Occasional Paper", if you like that idea that is.

Comments, suggestions, contributions are welcome. We're willing to manage this for now, but the site really belongs to all of us.

Cheers, Pat
