Great work Randy! Thanks! >which might give a rough idea of this (based on the existing >apache module-list subcategories).

Yes, that's why I contacted [EMAIL PROTECTED] (prematurely, I know). The problem is really that such a system would allow anyone to change the category etc.. without any way for us to check that it's the correct person. The easiest IMO would be to plug into PAUSE, or even just host it on PAUSE and take advantage of the Auth routines already in place there. Or maybe we need a PAUSE Passport ? :-) -- Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
