[Coco] We NEED a Centralized Location..........

[Steve Batson]

Jason,

This List and The Facebook Page as well as some other dedicated websites already seem to provide that. While there’s a lot of agreement and cooperation in the CoCo Community, I’m not sure that anyone can just declare “Here is the Central CoCo Place”. Also, just because someone sets something up, doesn’t mean that newbies will know where it is and/or find it.

Just my 2 cents.
