The group seems well organized, I would say nuke the forum and expose the group, maybe a link on the homepage like "need drupal services? click here" should do.<br><br>Now group VS consulting mailing list, the only activity I've seen lately on the consulting mailing list is actually RFPs, I would say it's near dead otherwise. I would leave the consulting mailing list as it is now, but make it more tempting for companies to post on the group by giving it more exposure.

yeah, that's the main point.<br><br>this list is for people who do consulting to talk about issues arising out of that activity, we should make it clear it is not a place for clients to meet up with consultants<br><br>
as someone starting out as a consultant there are tons of questions I would be looking to discuss with other consultants in a comfortable atmosphere<br><br>saludos,<br><span class="sg"><br>Victor Kane<br><a href="http://awebfactory.com.ar" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
