Only speaking as an individual member of TASO, but I’m not interested in developing a manual(s) for TASO, only to sell to the membership. There is no point in developing proprietary products that also cost the membership - those products are already available. The point of having our own manuals is to keep membership dues and organization costs down
No doubt in my mind we can find a group of folks within our fold that have the expertise, experience, and motivation to develop such products as a service to the membership, i.e., at no charge.
Like many, I believe we need to move our manuals closer to the CCA manuals. If the Mechanics Committee needs some volunteer help, they really don’t have to look very far. As they have been, the manuals can be distributed electronically, at no cost to anyone. Yes, to have a printed copy requires a member to print the manual themselves, and have it bound. They may incur a cost in getting that done, but they are in total control of that. Those that don’t have access to a printer and paper can almost always find a colleague willing to assist them, at only the minimum cost of the paper.
No, we don’t need to get involved with the CCA.
