Title A name given to the resource Madison Area Peace Coalition E-mails Description An account of the resource The Madison Area Peace Coalition (MAPC) formed fourteen days after the September 11 attacks to oppose (among other goals) the use of U.S. military, economic, or political force – whether direct or proxy, overt or covert -- "that violates the sovereignty or human rights of any nation or people." The Archive has assembled here e-mails exchanges from MAPC dating from the group's founding until late November 2001. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Communication Committee Report 1) The database itself is constructed. Work on the Join form is continuing. The free form fields of "other" for volunteer activities and "I belong to the following groups" will not lend themselves to being queried against. This means that anyone looking for specific information will have to read through all the records in the db to obtain it.  The db can be initiated as is, and we can look for a better solution later, when we are more able to assess what query and information needs there will be.  Maintenance and query tools also need to be created.  These tools will need password protection.  Completing the db is the top priority for the Communications Committee. 2) The committee mail list moderation is becoming cumbersome.  Emails require moderation for 4 reasons. A) Porn (not a lot)  b) from someone not on the mailing list c) too many addressees or d) trying to send too big a file.  We had discussion on perhaps having each committee assign someone to do their own moderation, or, turning moderation off altogether.  We decided to leave it as is for now, and are looking into some other options that may solve some of these problems.  New mail lists still need to be created for the students and the yet unnamed world committee.  This should be done shortly. 3) Website issues: We discussed some improvements needed.  A)  We will add a page for Printable Materials, so the posters for events can be posted there so members can get them and print them themselves.  The problem today is everything is dropped off downtown or campus for pickup, and we are missing opportunities for people to poster the outskirts on their own because they don't want to go downtown to pick them up.  B) We will create a link on the navigation bar for In the Press, and look to having articles about MAPC etc scanned in and posted there.  C) We will look into password protecting some of the Wiki pages, so they can't be changed once they're posted (such as fundraising, meeting minutes, press releases).  D) We will work on FAQ pages, both external (people wanting to learn about MAPC) and internal (people in MAPC wanting to know how to do things - could be web related or not - example, how to reserve a room in TITU). 4) We have a proposal: There is no contact info on the web site on how to contact MAPC in general.  We are proposing to create an email link to contact MAPC, and have this email go to the Coordinating Committee.  The CC members could pick up and answer these emails as appropriate.  For example, someone might ask about an upcoming event, and the outie of the committee sponsoring the event could respond.
