Here's a little web project I've been thinking about doing for a while for Milton (although it would work for any coherent community - Denis are you reading this?). We collectively write a single A4 page of information for new villagers. So it would be headed "Welcome to Milton" and would include things like: - when rubbish was collected - public transport options - a list of clubs and other activities in the village - where to eat and drink - the URL of the village web site - details of the two mailing lists Then we ensure it gets put through the letterbox of any new home owner in Milton. The web aspect of it is how this delivery would be made to happen. What we would do is keep the A4 page on the web server. Then when you, a milton-chat reader, saw someone move in near you you would go to the web site and use a web form to select your street and the house number of the new householder. The web site would then check if they had already had a leaflet delivered. If they have it would tell you the job had already been done. If not it would send you a copy of the leaflet for you to print off on your own printer and put through the new home owner's letterbox. The web site would note in its database that you'd done that so that no one else duplicates the work. So my questions are: 1. Do you think new villagers would welcome such a leaflet? 2. If I set up the web site are you all willing to help with leaflet printing/delivering (not that there's going to be a lot of that to do in the near future with the way the housing market is going!)? -- Paul
