Okay, it's done. I just hope it worked!
This afternoon, Sunday, May 6, I imported the information for all of the current members, and many former members of the association. You all should have received a personalized email telling you what was going on and giving you instructions on how to log in and change your password.

I'm a little worried, as some of the out of office replies and bounces I've received make it look like the default welcome email that comes with Drupal was sent out in error. If you got that one, which thanks you for creating an account on the site, I apologize.
So, just to summarize, it wasn't you, it was me...
We've decided to change things up here a bit and try to engage those who have an interest in what we do, but aren't necessarily members of the association. To that end, anyone can join the site. You'll still need to be approved, but that's just to protect you from being bombarded by offers from online poker sites, the best pharmacies on the net, and various Nigerian bankers...
Only folks who are members of the association will have access to member only content, but anyone who is registered on the site will be able to partake in the discussion via comments and forums (once we add them).
We're just exploring the capabilities of Drupal, but they are many. We have the capability to do collaborative publishing, have blogs, news feeds, and all sorts of other cool Web 2.0 stuff.
If you have any questions, please contact me. If you're logged in, you can just click on my hyper-linked name and find a contact form. Or just use webmaster@chla-absc.ca
Cheers,
