Let me know what you guys think.
Hopefully then slashcode has improved since the last time I tried to use it. It was horrendously hackish perl tied into apache and mysql's internals in several ways. I'd probably suggest using the similar-looking but simpler SquishDot on Zope if we're able to install whatever we like, as that would also allow there to be multiple web editors working on the site as a whole, not just on posting stories (which could be done by an overlapping group). Thoughts? Of course, other ways may be more developed in connecting up to the mailing lists and/or offering nntp feeds of the discussions. Are these of interest to people? As to the existing website, maybe we should steal the artwork and material, but orphan the current site as soon as possible, rather than waste effort bringing it up-to-date. Andrew, can you upload a tarball of all the materials (the site, the logo master, etc) so that someone can take it off of your hands? Once again, the "subscribe to alug" forms should be killed immediately, as they are broken but produce no errors.

I've not the opportunity to install it as yet, but if it heavily relies on Apache (I'm running Zeus on my server and am not going to abandon it considering the cost) then yes, we'll have to look at something else.

Whole heartedly agree on that there needs to be multiple web editors.

Personally I prefer mailing lists to NNTP feeds, but it would be nice to offer a web-based version of the mailing list where members can have a choice of participating either via the web site or via email, or both.

Once I've got all the bits and pieces, I'll get all anglian.lug.org.uk DNS info changed over to my machine as well as setting-up the basic site which we can then build upon as necessary. Regards, Martyn

That was what I was referring to, maybe I was being too subtle. :-) How about OI SAV FIX THE DAMN FORMS! (BJ puts on protective head gear.) <g> As for Syleham on the 20th don't think that's a good idea. I'm having a party in the hall the night before so I expect to be clearing up most of that Sunday. Sunday after maybe? Indecently if any of you want to come to my 40th Birthday bash at Syleham Village Hall on 19th Aug let me know any Aluggers are most welcome. Cheers, BJ
