Reason #3: We're with you for the long haul
It's our aim to make these Post-Dispatch Web sites the only logistical, scheduling and publicity tool most community groups will ever need - so that Web work will no longer be an "add on" to an already busy workload but a replacement for it.
We're going to reach that goal by regularly surveying our Web site administrators to identify the main stumbling blocks and time-wasters keeping them from doing what their organizations were created to do. Then we'll set to work finding ways to sand down those blocks and win back that lost time using our Web sites. What we can't solve ourselves, we'll take to Koz, the company that developed these tools, with whom we have an excellent relationship.

Reason #4: To be part of a stronger St. Louis
No matter how wonderful your current Web site is, there's one final thing you can't be part of without joining us. For our aims don't stop at making great Web sites. We want to create a great network: one that connects St. Louisans to our newsroom, links towns too long separated and individuals who run with too different crowds, allows groups that are too busy to hold a meeting to collaborate with one another online ... in short, a network that sands down not only the obstacles to our private goals, but those that limit our shared, public life as well.

We're experimenting, for instance, with Web tools that will help groups find their natural allies, network more easily and hammer out decisions and common action plans. But in this area, we're limited less by technology than by imagination, and by the fact that, though we may all soon be wired, we haven't figured out a smart way to be wired together. We intend to build one, with the help of groups like yours.
