<CORSA Chapters> Corsa Chapter web statistics

[Ellison, Barry]

For CORSA SC which does NOT have a presence, we've had several people with
the skill set offer to do this.  It's just never completed.  I assume it's
due to time constraints which is one reason I've never personally
volunteered.

Also, coming to agreement to what will be allowed on the site can be no
small matter.  You just cannot make some people happy which breeds
discouragement.  New people with great ideas and skills that volunteer their
time can only deal with so much pessimism.  In the end, nothing gets done.

Personally, a small simple presence with statement of purpose, contacts, and
a few pics of members cars for CORSA SC should be a minimum, and possibly a
newsletter from last year.  <remove "CORSA SC", add "all clubs over 5
members">
