I want so much to be part of the Dolphin community and as such I have two suggestions on both fronts. One from the software side and one on the "greener" side of life. I just installed Dolphin and seriously considering it for a new site I intend to launch on feb 9, 2009. So here goes.

1) I believe there seriously needs to be a way to integrate our sites with Facebook to take advantage of their 150 million users. It is a must for me and my marketing efforts. I hope that has been considered see more in the new release and would be very interested in talking to anyone who has implemented such an animal or would be willing to.

2) I am a volunteer for the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network out of Galveston Texas. see http://www.tmmsn.org. We were all hit very hard by Hurricane Ike last September and notwithstanding this organization. The building where we rehab stranded dolphins was devastated. Everything inside the facility was destroyed and tye roof was torn off. 50 of us had a roof raising party last Saturday and manually put on a temporary tarp. You would laugh at the engineering effort, string, wooden blocks and some heave ho. We have one dolphin, "Tobey" , who is in rehabilitation for release now in a borrowed tank and there is no telling when we might have to vacate. We not only need funds to feed him but to rebuild the facility. If there is any interest in helping out this non-profit, please let me know and I'll put you in touch with the director.

My story on why I am involved is a different tale, but let's just say I was healed by a dolphin and want to give back!
