POCA Web Site Launch

Guest

The POCA web site is now on-line.

It has been a long time in coming with a tremendous amount of work in planning and implementing the site over the last five years. Jeff Detrich and John Taphorn did a lot of the planning and a lot of the coordination of the work. Brian Fedoroff has been steadfastly maintaining the current site. Asa Jay Laughton and Trevor Fougere have been doing leg work on the implementation decision process. Several others who have come and gone over the years have made contributions as well. And, I have certainly had a lot of fun doing this!

Take a look at the new site. Details on what is there and what is still to come are on the home page.

Register yourself on the site. Add your chapter's events to the calendar.

Anyone can register an account. In the future, there will be some POCA member-only content namely the archive of on-line Newsletters and Profiles.

The site is www.poca.com

I've been privy to a bit of beta testing the last week.

New site is awesome!

There will also be a new POCA sponsored Forum that will bring with it the features we have LONG been accustomed to here on the PIBB.

Long overdue.

But for the online dinosaurs, POCA will still retain the old email-based system.

For POCA members, archives of monthly newsletters and past Profiles will also be coming. This will, in effect, be a way to get a new quarterly magazine just about whenever you want it. Yea, it may be ten years old, but if you've never seen it, it will be new to you.

Cudos to the POCA gang for finally getting the new site up and running!!

Thanks Larry. We are evaluating a few different brands of of forums. All are free and are integrated seamlessly with the web site user logins. I hope to have that wrapped up within a few weeks and launched.

Interesting juxtaposition of avatars. :->)

Awesome job Mark! I kind of miss the look of the old "retro" site but we all must move one. Great improvement in content and navigation. Thanks for all the hard work!

Hello,

I joined the San Diego Pantera Club, but in my shortsightedness, I neglected to also join the POCA.

Can I upgrade to include a POCA membership?

Thanks,

Kerry

Hi Kerry,

No problem. Contact Judy McCartney at 714-897-6964, and she will fix you up. She will be in Hawai'i for a few more days but will help you when she gets back.

We are please to announce the opening of the POCA tech article section on the POCA website which will house a library of technical articles for the repair and maintenance of Panteras and other De Tomaso cars.

As we are just opening it now, the content is pretty thin, but over the years it should grow substantially. Currently we have Mike Drew's steering rebuild article and two research papers by Dr. Andrzej (Andrew) Wortman on the aerodynamic characteristics of Panteras with experimental results and recommendations for handling the "sugar scoop" problem.

Some content will be public such as Mike's article. Some content will require a (free) account such as Andrew's research papers. Other content will require POCA membership to access such as the POCA Newsletter article archive. (The POCA-only content should roll out early 2009.)
