The "Coffee Shop" forum was set up in 2007 by passengers, for passenger and has thrived since. We now have a database of some 25,000 topics with a total of over 300,000 messages, with messages being added at around 1,000 per month.When the Coffee Shop was set up, it was envisaged as a project with a limited life, but it has proven useful and popular - not only with passengers, but also as an information source for professionals on passenger views, and as a co-ordinator of views so that passenger requests can be better co-ordinated and informed. Looking forward to 2019, we will be rebuilding the databases and software to move us on from software that has carried us well through the last decade to software and systems that will be a firm base for the next decade.I currently host the site on my dedicated server, and do all the technical background stuff. Over the next 12 months, we plan to change that and become fully constituted and with resources configured to that we are no longer key man dependent.
