about AvatarMeherBaba.net
purpose
to serve the ever growing, diverse Baba community by:
- providing web-based network services for communicating with each other and others on topics related to Avatar Meher Baba
- helping others build websites using OpenACS et al (see site credits below)
- providing a collaborative environment (GS forum and works in progress) for translating God Speaks "in as many languages as possible for those who cannot read and understand English"
status
We are in the process of setting up services. You can contact us at wallas@avatarmeherbaba.net. We also hang out at the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) chat group ( irc://chat.freenode.net/#avatarmeherbaba ). IRC chatting requires an irc program to access. First time users might want to try Chatzilla because it works with mozilla based browsers, such as Netscape. GAIM is a popular alternate. IRC FAQ.
