Royce, I must admit that I have reservations about the Orcadia Group Photo Album. To state the obvious, the Orcadia group is about Orkney. While I'd welcome a photo album concerned with things Orcadian, I think that most of the things that you mention in the list above are quite irrelevant to the remit of the Orcadia list. The Orcadia Group Photo Album is a good idea, but not if it it is to consist of pictures of things or people completely unconnected with Orkney. Sorry, but that's the way I feel. Norman Tulloch

I agree with Norman. An "Orcadia Group Photo Album" could very quickly balloon out of even your capable hands, Royce. Especially since: (1) the pix might have to be sent to Royce's email address (if you want this culling headache, have at it!), (2) Many of us would never visit the album, since the reason why we hope for a RootsWeb ORCADIA-list is to (hope to) learn about Orcadian lore, history, stories, music and etc. The effort on your part, Royce -- well, I would not envy you the time it will take you. What really is the purpose of such an photo album? I recognize the social networking aspect, but we can all get to know each other through our own PMs (private mail), and send pix that way. I'm not sure connecting it to the ORCADIA RootsWeb mailing list makes sense. Especially since cacti were never a thing I associated with Orkney? :) Lisa {> on 9/14/07 10:27 AM <} Norman Tulloch wrote -- Royce, I must admit that I have reservations about the Orcadia Group Photo Album.
