Dear list members, As I have mentioned to you earlier, I have been working on developing the AccessIndia website for our group. This website will have a lot of utilities. I have finished designing a prototype for the same. And I am happy to let you all know that this prototype can now be accessed on a test site. The whole design is based on an efficient Content Management System which provides lots of features for collective information gather and content generation. Most content of the site will be available for all the users who want to browse, irrespective of they being members of AccessIndia list or not. However, only registered members of the site can add new content to the site. Once you are registered and your membership is approved, you will be able to post content to any of the multiple catagories or subcatagories of the site. In some cases, the posted content will have to be approved by a designated moderator. But this is only to check extraneous entries and not to have control over the content or site.
The prototype of the site can be accessed only through the following URL: http://www.accessindia.org.in/cms The site is not at all linked from anywhere else. If you try to register for an account, please note that the registration has to be approved before you have full access rights to the site. Also note that this is just a test site. I have added a few sample articles and content just for testing. When the site is officially launched, most of the content and help texts will be rewritten. Secondly, adding or deleting catagories is a very simple job for the site owner and so your suggestions are welcome. Some catagories which are already there on the site do not appear in the list of links on the top. This is a known issue and I am working on it. If you would like to have a personal blog on the site, you need to e-mail me because this process has not been automated yet. Your feedback on the prototype is highly valuable to me. Please send in your comments to me directly on [EMAIL PROTECTED] unless you want some of your suggestions to be discussed on the list by other members. Before I forget, the site and all related services are totally free. Thanks and regards, Kiran. To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.
