I think the part that can't be done by a mailing list is excluding the potential giftee? Or would there be a way to do that on the computer?

That would be fine by me -- how does it work? Anyone who is on the list can generate an e-mail? I'm on the DC list, but I've never generated an e-mail, and I don't know how to other than going back to the last one sent, and that wouldn't necessarily honor recent updates. Is it easy?

Other people have thoughts about that?

I just would want it to operate like aurelia's distilled suggestion:

I would think a master list would mainly be good for an initial invitation to join a discussion/mailing list for whatever the project at hand is.

That is to say, if we have three projects going on, and I'm only able to do one of them, I'd like to not get e-mails on all of them after the initial one. Does that make sense to people?

And, javachick, not ignoring your post from yesterday; I just don't know the answer.

You're right about the exclusion, but let me see if this particular software allows members to see everyone else's.

When I get home.

Kind of hate to think I'm making work for you, ita. Do people just want to drop this for now? If there's no real interest, that's cool; if someone else wants to handle it, that's possibly even cooler.

I like the idea of a list. I try to participate when I see it, but I miss some of the good deeds.

What she said. However this gets put together is a good plan.

I really would like to help out and be supportive when/where I can.

Thanks to all of you who have volunteered to collect funds, assemble packages, etc. I think of the actions done has been in our collective name.

Yes, this. I think a list of some sort is a great idea, though I have no ideas about how to go about it.

Coffee: I can’t find the paypal info for people who are collecting for others in need right now and would like to send a little something to both--can anyone point me in the right direction or email me info? Thanks.

Me too please.
