Hi John,

I help out from time to time on the novalug site.  I think that the
marketplace is a great idea.  What is the best course of action?  Post the
products in the forums under "classifieds / marketplace" or install the
ubercart module?   For the time begin, I will setup a classifieds section
in the Forums --- any feedback is welcome.

Thanks,

Daniel

Nothing happened.

Can novalug.com accommodate this?
If so, John do you want to manage and drive this?

is sold to someone, the seller marks it "found a new home."  Every seven
days or so, the site would send a reminder to the poster asking if it is
still available and request they please update the posting.
