NavList:

It's that time again. Please, if you are able, contribute to NavList Operations:
  https://www.fer3.com/contribute.aspx?gid=NavList.

Operations contributions cover actual costs like domain registration and especially hosting for the website and message archive which now has several gigabytes of files on it (it's cheap to carry around a few gigs in your pocket, but online it's still expensive for fast-access web hosting). Contributions also cover the work I do on the site infrastructure. I work about half an hour daily, every day, on NavList management, coding, and other development, including the NavList Twitter feed. This website, fer3.com, is devoted 99% to NavList activities and archives.

I understand that not everyone is able to contribute. Not everyone wants to contribute. There's no obligation whatsoever, but it is critical this time.

As an incentive, anyone who does contribute, please feel free to make a request for enhancements to the behavior of the NavList website or other systems. I can't guarantee that all wishes will be answered, but I will try! One feature that I will be adding in the next few weeks is autosaving of drafts of messages when editing online -- no worries if you walk away from a message or if you need to look something up and want to pick up where you left off later. I'm also adding some enhancements to make creating and editing messages on smartphones and tablets easier since many of you now use small screen devices as primary Internet access.
