(Note from
Webmaster - XLH Network in the
following report refers to the name given
The XLH Network Inc.
prior to incorporation March 2, 2005.)
Washington DC-The coordinators of the XLH Network and the F-HYPDRR
mailing list have been working for the past several months on a new
members web site to provide consolidation of our previous private web
space as well as access to new materials of interest to our members.
Capabilities of the new Members Web Space summarized
here.
Content on this web site is considered tentative pending feedback
from the XLH Network membership.
If you are a registered member of the XLH Network, you will have
received a user name and password by email and can
enter the Members Web Space now.
Our
private XLHGeorgia site
remains available to members using the same user name and password as
that of the Members Web Space.
The XLH Network Members web site is one more important step in the
process of the creation of a nonprofit organization dedicated to XLH.
If there is anything that you would like to see in this new web site,
please send an
e-mail
and we will be sure to respond. We are eager to hear your comments.
