    So please make all “good speed” (whoops) toward making the UMAPA site mo detailed. Thankyouverymuch.

  2. I agree. More details about the current or proposed activities of UMUPA would be cool. I guess you could argue that if I don’t know it’s my fault because I didn’t go to that meeting, etc.—but even so, clarification is needed for folks who don’t happen to live in towns where a ‘mass meeting’ took place.

    I’d put this on organization’s site, but there’s no invitation for feedback.
