for the active members here, we are setting up a single group at groups.io

Here is the link:
https://groups.io/g/EccoPro

We may send out invites to all the members here, but if you want to jump 
in and join up before the invite, go ahead!

eventually I think we will have our files all uploaded also.

It's a work in progress, so bear with us!
