I think basically what is happening these days is that the site is getting enough use that ALL of the features are being tested in a much heavier way than before, and the users have higher expectations for usability than before. In short, they expect this to be a fully professional site. But we do not have a fully professional budget. This might be the time for that awareness and fundraising campaign, TJ?
The awareness part is letting people know that the BRS is more than a website, it's a club that does stuff for its memebers, and it needs a little bit of cash to make it work. The fundraising part should make clear the financial needs to make the site fully professional. I think if we are totally honest members will respond.

I think the idea of organizing an SF chapter of the BRS is great.
However, the current implementation of the website leaves a lot to be desired in the way of clarity and simplicity of organization. What use are posts about Lodi and Stockton, CA, appearing under a San Francisco chapter heading?
The presentation of the article titles / entries etc. is also confusing and in my opinion verges on unreadable.
I hope that someone will take steps to simplify and clarify the interface, perhaps if necessary migrate the SF chapter to an entirely new website, as the current organization of the BRS site in general seems far too underpowered to successfully serve as a gathering point for multiple state and local chapters of the BRS.
