New JS / Issa Website (This may be a re-post - my apologies if it is.)

(If this is a re-post, please forgive me  - I'm having tech troubles)

Hello Fellow Siblings: 

For a long time now - years actually - I've debated whether or not to
start a JS/Issa website of my own. 

Sheeba, Issalight and smoe.org's "no borders here" have been really,
really wonderful resources for us fans over the years and I'm so very
grateful that they've existed in their different incarnations. 

With that said though I've always wanted a JS/Issa resource that is
truly *comprehensive*...to be the MOST comprehensive source of all on
the WWW. 

This would include the obvious things - discography, biography, photos,
links, etc... but take them each a step further... just as a "for
example": feature the cassette artwork for the albums too... alternate
editions info and so on. 

Just really, really comprehensive. And kept updated in a timely fashion. 

Also considering including a forum... I thought the "Village Green" was
great at Sheeba. 

Fan content - definitely, definitely, definitely. 

To build the kind of site I have in mind will take some time... the
Webmaster my business partners and I share will not want anything to do
with it as it would be work he wouldn't be paid for - which is fair
enough... so I'll be doing it on my own in whatever spare time I can
create. 

I would imagine that it will be contained within my own website
initially. And look at separat-ism later. 

BUT.... 

I can do NONE of it without your kind assistance and participation.... 

...I'm really hoping you will want to contribute to 
what I want this site to be for us - the fans. 

So.... 

I am starting by compiling a comprehensive photo library... 

...please send me whatever jpg's you have - the more obscure the better.
But definitely live photos, promo photos, posters, album artwork (other
than covers which I have), t-shirt designs. Anything and everything. 

*Please, please, please - jpg format only. And pretty please, files
under 100k only.* 

If you want to send a disc of jpg's that would be great and I can give
you a snail-mail address upon request 

Also - your suggestions... I'd REALLY like to get your perspective on
this project. 

E-mail your stuff *DIRECTLY* to me at...

 [email protected] 

so we don't clog the list. 

(Use the orchidbau@gmail address and not the one this message originated
from.)

I will be sending other requests and updates in the future... your help
is what will make this website happen... and make it truly great. 

Can't wait to hear from you! 

Your friend, 

-Orchidbau
