The idea of having
our own family website , was
brought up sometime in mid year 2003. It took us another year to finally had the
first version up and running, hosting it at 1and1.com server containing a very
minimal information.
Since then, years went by, lots of visitor signing out the guestbook and many inputs were given, but... we did not have
either the time or energy to make the proper update.
For that we would like to
apologize to those individuals, who had written and not being responded
appropriately. This time around we introduce the FORUM, which
will enable every single member to communicate against each other directly in a
timely fashion.
Although this site is mainly established for the
circle of Matindas Family, we are also thinking about
the possibility of helping the relatives and close friends who needs to learn more
about life in many different places around the globe, the weather,
travel arrangement ,and some other aspects in life.
There will be pages that are open to
public, and there will be pages that are restricted to
the immediate family members, as it contains personal
information that are only made available to the people
that we trust. Those restricted pages will be password
protected, the same password for every individual which
will be changed from time to time. This password will be
distributed to the members who have registered trough
the mail-list that were collected during registration.
We understand that members of the Keluarga Besar, came from so many
different ages, backgrounds , nationalities and or
ethnic groups, and they too, have friends and relatives
that they feel like sharing things with.
So we are thinking about granting special membership
for a limited number of people who are
not directly associated with our family , but either
grew up with us, or being recommended by one of us.
Then of course we need to limit the amount
of sponsorship per person to prevent it from getting too
crowded.
