I visted the Online Exchange page that Lawrence set-up. http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/agwiki/index.php/OnlineExchange
I added some information. This could take on a life of its own, but it would
be nice to have it associated with NAFEX.

That is a typical Wiki. See this page: http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/agwiki/index.php/OnlineExchange
You have the ability to create and edit pages while online. No email is
involved. The little "Actions" menu at the bottom of the left
sidebar allow you to click on the "Edit" option. You can then edit and change
the very page you were looking at.
You'll need to learn a few simple rules for editing pages, i.e. text
formatting rules. This info is in the Help Pages
which you can click on. Better maybe to start out with the Wiki Blog (weblog)
and try posting messages in this. See again: http://www.ibiblio.org/ecolandtech/agwiki/index.php/OnlineExchange
and look at the title "Comments on Online Exchange"
then skip down to" "Add New Comment" and look at the form over to the right.
Simply type in some info describing the subject of your
comments in the "Summary" box then continue down to the "Comment" box below
and enter your info on the plant material you are offering for
exchange; then click on the "Submit" button to post your comments. After this
is done you and others visiting the exchange page can
read your entry, followup with their comments or start a new subject. Old and
out of date entries in this "exchange" can be deleted easily.
If subscribers want more ideas and help with developing and using an exchange
in the Wiki I've set up posted to this list I'll gladly do so
or if not I'll be available in normal email.
