@pius

1. Basic info - put anything generic - don't even bother what!
2. Linking mailing list to the site - if you do not know how to do this, don't even call yourself a web programmer! & if you can't google how to do this, you are better off not being here!
3. Sending to members - don't even go there, thats why we have a mailing list already

- I think you do not understand the methodology required. I vote that you do not do this project until you are capable of, we have people who are capable of it enlist. & next time, DO NOT HIJACK A THREAD - stick to your owner start a new one!

rgds,
Very Unhappy lister

So far the ideas I have gotten are:
-Basic info pages about skunkworks(I have a small write up but it's generic).

-Since some if us want the status quo to remain, I was wondering if there's a way to link the mailing list to the site i.e  Questions can be seen/posted on both site & your inbox or something of the sort.

-Organizing how the digests will be sent to members.(Daily probably)

Any help and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

it sounds Joke but Serious, drama will do.! I wish there was business journalist here..... anyone? this would make a good report for the day, you know, Like "John walked in and calmly requested to see the manager. the attendant ignored him, then he patiently asked (speaks while raising his voice step higher, word after word) "a you going to ADDRESS MY PROBL..." (the attendant gestures shushhhiii) "Shhhhehhhshshhs, pls don't shout" John Bangs the table ((shouts) "Do not Shush me" he sits on the floor and points to the attendant (shouting and angered) "Get me your manager or....." meanwhile the crowd has gathered by the door and others like me will go for pop corns and come to watch 'invindeo kama ndrama'
ACtually it will work they will respond very quickly so stage a drama.

@JohnDoe,
 I think going there and making a scene is what works. Don't rant and rave.. Be calm and ask to see the manager. If s/he is being difficult, go a level higher and higher until you get a replacement.
Worked when our 3 week old Tv went blank. The guy ended up replacing it with a better model<<According to the shop assistant>>And it's still under warranty:-)

Pius, I hope you are reading this!

First, try and establish the need you are trying to solve with this website, let's hear it. For starters, Michael has given you his vision. Just read through this thread and let us hear what ideas you have with your favorite tools for doing the website.
I will try and facilitate the kick-off ..

@Wash thanks for the response but instead of going to do while Pius is willing to do something it will be better not to introduce an alternative that will water down is motion or suggestion. I agree with your suggestions they make sense. Kindly, I know you are busy but support him with what you think may get good reception in here, that only will help since he has the motive to do it.

Michael,

Why don't we start with a Facebook group? I suppose (I am not sure) FB allows someone in the know like yourself to heavily customize the looks of the group page, and that would allow us to 'share', 'like', 'comment', etc... no??
Since you are an AppDev, I believe this is something easy for you. Please give it a head-start...
And while looking at that angle, perhaps it's easy to ignore (or just have it) and at the same time we get to install a favorite CMS that allows all these things people want, then have the AppDevs/WebDevs here to make it do what everyone agrees it should do?? The server is already in place - where this list runs from - so it's just the time your type can give to the project that counts. Of course we all need to be consulted so as to come to an agreement on what features/looks we want. Does that make sense?? I think it's the easy way out... If this is a deal, then I am sure the skunkworks Administrators can facilitate this asap....

Thank God I see this. I have been advising people get it from bestell, now see, it will be 'Get it anywhere but NOT bestell'
@Wash and @All is this not one reason we should have the website suggested by one of our kind, something like mashable these reactions would really throw big weight in changing the mindset of bestell management and other competitors. Yes social media campaign will be quick and easy with the website coz all one will need do is 'Share', 'like' , 'Comment', 'Tweet', and so on and the fire goes engulfing the said party. I think if we support that gentleman in anyway we can, someway we may open a new door to a vast community. Only, one request, no one removes the mail list (reservist I am).

I second you Peter on Goldcrest Holdings. They are efficient in responding to warranty issues and were kind enough to replace my 1TB hard disk twice in a span of 4months and the two times with a brand new one without any hustle at all. So far their hard disks have worked perfectly and I haven't had to invoke their warranty again.

@Claude D'souza, I have bought about 4 laptops from chekelea.com, two of them required under-warranty repair, and the big boss there went out of her to sort me out.

Funny thing, I buy a lot more accessories from Starcom, but I've never had to invoke their warranty, I pray to God that I never have to.

For storage devices, I have recently discovered Goldcrest Holdings Kenya, thanks to skunk Odhiambo. Can't complain thus far. Plus they do COD.

At triple play communication we have a warranty policy that guarantees same day replacement even when the equipment is repairable, we provide you with an alternative for continuity as we get yours either replaced or repaired depending on the warranty status.

However we only deal in communication, network and security hardware...

Those who have worked with us here can confirm the same.. Customer retention is key..

Joe Doe,
Not to discourage you but I once had a similar issue with them and eventually gave. The word Warranty or Customer service to them is unheard off. All the best though.
To the rest of the Listers, there you have it. Buy from Bestell at your own risk.
