Jeff's web site is excellent, but I am sure speed of change can be improved.
I think the content is bang on the button and the pages as laid out are easy to follow making it a very user friendly site.
Jeff spent an awful lot of time making sure the content was right, even on the discussion page, which has kept the site clear of any abuse and inappropriate wording, this has maintained the site to be an outstanding example. His same attention to detail has been applied to the Steam Car Register, which is an awesome piece of work that we, as a club, should maintain.
So I think the new web master should have some help in that:
1) The club should appoint an archivist to preserve and keep track of steam cars, who owns them, and when, and develop a record of their history. Sorry to link it back to other forms of steam engines but the Steam roller Association, Road Locomotive Society, Steam ploughing club and steam narrow boats all do the same roll.
2) It would help out the web master if some trusted moderators were put in place to ensure anything insulting or inappropriate is instantly removed from the discussions page.
That's my thoughts.
