Fred's email instructions of 14Feb03: "Jack, I've updated your seekers command. Now, when you want to add someone to a new group, say seekermembers: . seekers jackshimek seekermembers You will no longer be prompted for the password if the member is already in the database. The script checks now!!!! The default group is "seekercouncil", but I should probably change that default! That is, you can still do something like: . seekers newcouncilmember and the old behavior will commence."

 

[This needs a review to bring it up-to-date with current membership, just the 3 active councillors and AH - this seems correct. Also needs review for procedure to add new members - this is the basic list and council members are chosen from this list]
