Howdy Lucas,
Fun sounds like a good reason to me! :)
On the other hand.... I can think of a bunch
of other things to do for the website... hmm...
maybe this would be fun for somebody ...
how about assembling the Web's best collection
of neurofeedback articles in one place? I bet
we could get permission to reprint a lot of that
stuff. THere are some old print
anthologies, now out of print... we could probably
get permission for some of that stuff. (And it might
even be a good idea to reprint stuff that is already
on other websites, in cases where those websites
are arranged in a way that makes it hard to find
their content with search engines.)
It would be nice to see reviews of EEG machines.
Maybe our site's the wrong place since we're
about to be competitors, but it would be nice
if somebody tested these machines for accuracy
by doing such things as feeding a signal into them
with a signal generator. And then published the
results.
It would be great to have a section with
protocols (which frequencies to train in
which direction and where to put the electrodes)
for various purposes.
Oh, search engine rankings. I think this is real
important because if people can't find the site,
what good is it? (Ranking means, for example,
that when somebody types "neurofeedback" into
Google, and Google returns 3800 results, we want
our site to be on page 1 and not page 79.) One
of the best ways to improve ranking is to get large
numbers of other sites to link to ours. (Google
pioneered that metric and i think some of the other
engines have started using it too. But Google
definitely does and they seem to have the most
users by far.)
The standard way that most sites use to increase
their link ranking is by offering crosslinks to other
sites. This is simple. Just make a list of other
websites that are somewhat related and send them
e-mails saying, "Hey, we'll link to your site if you
link to ours."
In general, maybe somebody will find that it's fun
to take on the job of boosting our search engine
rankings and number of page views. A lot of
people find it addictive. It's a game.
This may sound too much like commercial
marketing but I've found that it's a lot more fun --
hey, I got back to the topic! -- to publish a
site when it's getting 10,000 page views a
week than when it gets 100.
Cheers,
Rob

Hmmm. I guess for fun is pretty much the only reason. :)
that and to just do something for the website, between splitting the sitewith Eric, and getting the hardware specs from Jiva, I haven't really donemuch with it.
In short, you're right, yahoogroups works. I guess there isn't any reasonto make it any more work.
