We are now in possession of the following domain names to play with: vintagechambers.com vintagechambers.net vintagechambers.org vintagechambers.info Yes, I rather liked the vintagechambers name that berlyn suggested. I registered them last night so we wouldn't be beaten to the post. When you register it takes a while after you complete the forms to get it all confirmed, I guess because someone else could be registering the same name with another registrar so they have to dot all the t's & cross the i's before giving it to you officially. I didn't want to announce it on here until I received confirmation. I registered with 1&1 ( www.1and1.com ). They charge only $5.99 per year & seem pretty well regarded, so if anyone wants to snap up any of the other available names for the group I say go for it! It is pretty simple to do & if you have any questions please PM me & I'll try to answer them. Seems like we are cooking with the gas off now people!

Sorry about the Not for profit stuff. Your correct, a lot of hassel for little bang. It's just what I do.

No Frank! Love your input! My first reaction was a negative knee-jerk... I am involved with a Great Dane rescue (fundraising) and EVERYTHING has to be approved by the board, it slows me down and frustrates me to no end. But, I can also see the need for it! But, for the Commune...I'm hoping we can follow the KISS method ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

OK I checked the "C" service manual and there's no copyright notice on it. Since others are scanning them and CHARGING a profit for it, I'm thinking it's got to be OK to scan and give them away.
BTW, I give permission for my safety document to be posted freely on the new site vintagechambers.com, net, info, org, etc.

Do we have anyone online who has real experience building web pages? A graphic designer is going to be the right skill here I think. I don't want to see this website with all sorts of FLASHY graphics and BLINKING crap and TWIRLING logos and other juvenile stuff that was popular when the web first came online in 1994.

you need me to setup hosting for those name Danny? I'd love that Falcon. I have to go set up the DNS at 1&1 since they sent me confirmation, so just let me know via email or PM where to send the traffic, etc. Mille grazie amico!!!

I don't know. . .I was so looking forward to a dancing david hasselhof melting in to a flashing rachel ray entry page. . . Why do you want to ruin all of our fun??? Seriously though, I agree totally. I've built sites for classes & stuff, as well as done some little maintenance tasks on fairly simple sites, although I'm certainly not a graphic designer. My partner is, so I can ask him to critique whatever we do from that perspective unless we have someone lurking around who wants to help! I think it will be something simple, from the design perspective, to start. In my experience it is the design of the navigation that is key. Even small sites can be almost unusable if you don't pay attention to this element.

Does anyone have an original (un-modified) idle hour cookbook to scan? I'm thinking PDF is the way to go. All I have is the one that Todd modified, and I think that's not fair game since it's a derivative work. But I'll scan the C service manual tonight.

All I have is the one that Todd modified, and I think that's not fair game since it's a derivative work. But I'll scan the C service manual tonight. I have original copies of all, or almost all, of the cookbooks, I think. I'm going to start scanning soon. And yes, I think it is pretty clear that any modified manuals & cookbooks are NOT in the public domain & we must respect the copyright. Most of the original materials I have do bear copyright notices, but I believe they are now in the public domain because of the age. I'm doing a bit of research on that to try & confirm. The key issue seems to be whether the copyrights were renewed by the author. It seems doubtful that they were.

Absolutely...we will NOT be distributing any modified material. Period. I'm trying to research the copyrights as well. If we plan on using the Chambers logo anywhere we will also need to secure permission to do so.

Awesome. Let's build that site. I'm gonna start scanning now. Who will collect the scanned files? Where should we send them?
Shit, did I just volunteer? ;D

Oh should we have some sort of consistency in the scans? Greyscale, 150dpi, PDF format?

I think consistency is good as long as it is simple to do.
And how will you scan them? Okay, I'm not sure how in detail I've gone into about what I do for a living, but I do marketing for good causes and that is a lot of message analysis, writing and editing, ad document design, including things like neighborhood business directories. I use the adobe suite. I have never done a website, only modified info using um, some kind of code, it was for the film festival--if you say it I will remember. FTP? Like I had a code to go in and modify text that had a certain home on a website, in short I do no speak html but am a pretty good editor and anyway willign to help out.
So my one concern in thinking about scanning these things is "spreads or press sheets"? Spreads, you just open up your book, scan pages 2 & 3, bam, move on. But it's not possible to assemble a booklet from pages scanned and printed like that, I mean without glue stick etc. Otherwise, you (carefully) dissect the book and scan pages 1&4, then flip it over and scan pages 2&3. Is this concern so basic as to have been dealt with already? I only have copies from sam, I don't know how complex the originals were.
We could lay them out so each page was on one 8.5x11, and people would then stick them into a binder, which would allow them to be laid flat for reference. [Do NOT get me started on me trying to truss my first chicken last week, using the fanny farmer drawings on the odd and follwoing even-numbered page, withthat book which does NOT lay open and very chickeny hands.]
For the littler books folks could put them in littler binders. What are you thinking, Mark?
