Dear Anne Lord,

Thank you for your response to my suggestion. Yes, the chapter news wiki
would be a good start. I will wait till the site is launched to see how the
how the news is grouped in the wiki site as also how the search funtionailty
is built in.

That should go a long way in helping chapters learn more about each other as
also promote cross-chapter interaction.

Shiva.
