GCSS Community Events

by Eric Pudalov, Community Events Coordinator

I thought it worth mentioning that one of Whitney's recent ideas for a new website was some sort of forum, in which people could discuss restaurants, theaters, and other public places as they pertained to people with disabilities.

In a sense, it would be similar to Access Atlanta, except the reviews would include such factors as whether or not a venue was wheelchair-accessible, had provisions for the hearing-impaired, etc. As someone without a physical disability, it's easy to overlook those factors sometimes.

While recently discussing this with the tech department, some of the folks there said web design wasn't their specialty, but recommended a couple of sites that were good platforms for setting up your own blog and/or forum. I'm in the process of looking over some of these sites now, and I think once I'm familiar with them, it should be easy to decide which would be the best to use.

The one thing that I hesitate about when it comes to using one of those sites: what if we want this to be more than just a message board? In the long run, I might want to have a fully functioning site; of course, it could start off as a message board, and we'll see how that catches on.

Well, just tossing some ideas around...if anyone wants to contribute their thoughts, feel free!
