2.Questions from last meeting

We have installed borzoipedia.com on the Hetzner server for €8.21/month.
Bjorn Hansen is installing the studbook with the help of Margaret Davis and Ron from the Breedmate company in Australia. Necessary code to move data to and from borzoipedia and other functions will be implemented when borzoipedia is finally moved. The program name will be borzoipedia.com and test.borzoipedia.com will disappear! Björn has agreed to continue work on the borzoipedia program.
Borzoipedia program progress. It was meant for Igor to report here but as you may have seen on FB, he has chosen to leave us. He does so in the middle of the program restoration which makes it quite difficult for a new programmer to take on the job. Hope you all will help looking for people willing to help!
Editor permissions approved to the following: Danielle Laurent-Faure, Sue Vasick, Olga Zilberman, Margaret Davis, Dan Persson, Andrus Kozlov, Arvid Andersen? Do we need more, add the name(s) to the list? Mail to Igor!
Approve Danielle Laurent-Faure to handle the Book section. Ask if she is willing to include magazines in the book section with links to articles. The Borzoi Quarterly, Borzoi                                            International, European borzoi, others?
Approve Olga Zilberman to handle the Art section. Ask if she will do a presentation of the artists when known.
Appoint Interview editor(s)? Suggestion: Lorraine Harvey, if she is willing, approve at the meeting.
